Being tired around people but once you get home you suddenly have energy?

Does it happen to anybody else that after a few hours at school/work you feel overwhelmed and tired but the second you part with the people around you, you suddenly regain your energy?

And how do you deal with it?

As someone that doesn't know any other autistic person I feel so weird when I try to explain this to someone and they don't understand.

  • It is something I'm looking for solution as well. People don't want to acknowledge that I NEED time alone, and I feel better alone, and that I can do a little bit of socialising and everything more than that is straining at least. For now when I try to explain, after I made enough courage to do so I get: blinking as if they listened and they instantly forget after I finish, or they just ask why am I telling them that.
