Hi everyone, I’m an adult and have been struggling with my Autism recently and had an Autistic shutdown at the end of last week.
I feel incredibly tired all the time and my brain feels like it’s playing tricks on me.
The thing that I’m struggling with the most at the moment is drinking liquids. The textures and tastes feel all wrong whether it’s my usual favourite Pepsi Max, water or squash.
The other night I finally thought of a drink that I may be able to drink which is Yazoo strawberry milkshake. I managed to have a few glasses as the texture and taste feels right. I just don’t feel thirsty at the moment but it’s the easiest drink for me to have.
I have only recently been diagnosed with Autism and I feel guilty. Dad had to go out at night to get bottles of Yazoo and I don’t understand why only that is what I will drink. I’m not attention seeking or doing it on purpose.
I tried really hard to think of a drink I could take as Mum and Dad said I would have to go into hospital for rehydration treatment.
I’m feeling very tired writing this at the moment, my brain is all over the place.
Any advice or warm words appreciated, thank you.
