Any ideas?
Considering how I presently feel and reading reports here:
An exhaustion of autistics/autists/autistic personages ...
I understand, but describing us as exhausted is a bit sad isn’t it?

I am usually a positive person but there are times one has to admit that being autistic in a neurotypical world is, at the very least, draining ...
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth….
You will know the group Debs.
It's not just for autism. People with MS use spoon theory to cope with what is known as 'MS fatigue'.
I'm guessing it's useful in many, if not all, conditions.

You definitely could but when you're flapping about.......it takes up extra "spoons" to do this. I think I've gone into a worm hole here.
Anyway, always ensure you have enough clean spoons.
Hmm ... I get the drift. Of course, one could always rinse the spoon under the tap, dry and re-use it.
I thought the same thing until I cooked Christmas dinner last year and realised how many spoons one actually needs to do things. And when you haven't got any left it's quite difficult to make the gravy / eat your pudding !
