I have been encouraged to seek out community by my psychologist. I think the idea is that I might be able to develop a broader understanding of autism / neurodivergence following my autism assessment, which was quite deficit focused.
In browsing the discussions I have found myself drawn to the subject of autistic burnout - .https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health/autistic-fatigue/autistic-adults .
Welcome to the forum 91136,
Ah yes, autistic burnout, I was getting that for years before my diagnosis without knowing what it was. I don't have any useful tips for dealing with it, but knowledge and understanding helps makes things a bit easier.
I hope you find your visits to the forum friendly and fruitful.
