Autistic fatigue?

Gareth1981
over 1 year ago

Hello im new here, my name is Gareth, 41 years old, I was diagnosed in 2020 just before pandemic hit. Fun times. Grinning

Every few months I have been hitting a wall in terms of energy levels, I enjoy working out as part of my routine and when these energy dips happen it can take a few weeks for them to return to normal.

Ive just heard about autistic fatigue and was wondering if anybody else has experience of this in regards to their energy levels?

Thanks

    Most definitely. Mine seems to be at the fairly extreme end. Ever since I can remember I tire easily. Even a bit of light housework has to be followed by a liedown and deep snooze. I was out on Friday night, which is a rare outing for me - and it will be days before the deep fatigue from that starts to properly lift. Even in my 20s (I'm 45 now) I would have to sleep on the sofa for a good while in the evenings as soon as I'd got in from work and eaten
