Hi, I have a diagnosis of Audhd. I have known for a while that I had ADHD but have only recently come to understand that Autism is also part of the mix that is me. This question relates to an ex partner: Can anyone here help me understand how autistic burnout affects feelings and emotions? Has anyone here ended a relationship during burnout because they did not have the capacity to be in a relationship and then find that they recovered and their capacity and feelings returned? Or is it more likely that the burnout its self leads to a permanent shift in capacity and what is needed and so the reduced ability to emotionally connect is more likely to be permanent. I am asking this because I am trying to understand and support someone that I care very deeply for. If anyone is able to share their views or experience I would be very grateful, Thank you.
