Hi all,
I'm a late diagnosed (46) autistic female and I'm currently having one of those days when I JUST CAN'T ! This happens after I have 'overspent' - and by that I mean I had a had a busy weekend with lots of 'peopling' (ugh!) and kids party, lots of social things going on and and things that had to be done to prepare for those social things - and now, it is Monday and my productivity is at zero! I really mean zero. I lay down on my office floor to breath earlier. And that's what got me wondering - is this a meltdown / or shutdown ? Is this an autistic thing?
It feels like I have overspent my energy, focus, ability and now I have nothing left. Can't do anything. Very low tolerance for noise also.
This happens on a regular basis at varying degrees of severity - I have thought of it as uneven productivity, but I wonder if it is more than that?
Anyone else have something similar?
Thanks in advance,
I get that , it has become worse as I get older. I have to have one day at the weekend when I just have no plans. I love the summer but also yern for the winter when there is nothing on and I can just snuggle up at home without feeling that I am missing out on the nice weather.
