I wondered if there was anyone out there who has a diagnosis of chronic fatigue - CFS or anything similar. AND is autistic/adhd. How do you manage sticking to what you have to do?
I know exactly what I need to do re planning, pacing and prioritising. I've had input from health care and have a good understanding of how it all fits together. The problem I have is in sticking to what I am supposed to do (which is writing down a plan for the day and following it, building a routine and following it). It seemed to go out of the window when I got discharged from the service (I was left to get on with it myself as had made good progress). The additional bank holidays have thrown me off as well. I can't get back on track and the fatigue compounds the executive function difficulties and lack of routine I now know I've always had. I have a diagnosis of autism. I wonder if there might be adhd elements in the mix but cannot be sure.
I have lists and notepads but forget to check them and feel I'm flying by the seat of my pants.
I don't know why I'm writing this other than I'm struggling a bit.
