Hello im new here, my name is Gareth, 41 years old, I was diagnosed in 2020 just before pandemic hit. Fun times.
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
Thank you all so much for the replies. It's kind of nice knowing I'm not going mad, from this point on I'm going to limit my physical exercise and allow my body and mind enough energy to function as it needs. I'm also on medication for anxiety which maybe plays a part too.
Thanks again.
Anxiety meds can definitely make you feel more tired than usual- I'm on a low dose of amitriptyline at the moment for chronic pain and when it starts working I pretty much just fall asleep right away.

Gareth, I think you missed the word "alone" off the end of this sentence ?!?
You raised an interesting thread - thank you.
