Hi. I have autism, ADHD, and a bunch of other horrible diagnosis's (not worh mentioning) and my mental health team said it would be a good idea to start volunteering. So lately I've been helping out at a small farm that's local to me. Literally I'm just helping the farmer's daughter with a few small tasks, nothing major and nothing difficult it's just packing boxes mostly.
I chose this as my volunteering as I love cows! I think they're such calm and lovely animals, I love sitting and watching them, I could do that for hours and have done exactly that. It's so peaceful to watch them graze and play in the fields. I've also seen this windmill on the farm and it's been a bit interesting learning about that.
But I get tired easily and laely I've got this fatigue and I think I might have burnout because I have very little energy and if I do something, no matter how small the fatigue intensifies. After my volunteer work I'm exhausted like I've had the flu and when I get home all I do is rest. I tried explaining to my mental health team but they think I should persist and it will get better. I tried explaining about my autism but they don't really understand it, or believe it.
I'm not sure what to do now. Whether I should continue my volunteering or not? I had burnout in my final year of school due to stress of exams and it took about 4 years until I fully recovered the first time. But I do enjoy my volunteering, who doesn't like the idea of working with cute cows? 
I'm thinking about asking the farmer's if I can still volunteer, but do maybe an hour or two less, or drop a day. Currently I'm at the farm twice a week, which I enjoy as I've said. But the fatigue is making it so difficult to keep up.
I'd really appreciate any advice and help you can offer.
Thanks in advance.
