Hi,
I'm autistic and I've got this issue with tiredness in that I am always in a near state of exhaustion! I've had burnout before and I know it's not that but it's close. If I go out I spend the next day or two in bed recovering from going out. When it first happened I thought maybe a time of the month thing but as it continued I saw my doctor and she's run tests but nothing serious has come back, so she's thinking it's stress tiring me out.
I've started yoga in the hopes of limiting any stress and the effects it causes but I'm still just as tired as I've always been. I was diagnosed not so long ago and I'm still learning so much about autism but it's confusing and I feel I'm constantly making it worse for myself by not understanding what's going on. I've read autistic people get exhaustion and fatigue and that sucks but it mostly just says about resting but that's not good because I can't do the things I enjoy and it makes me anxious of going out because I know the tiredness will hit hard after.
Feeling a bit lost with it all.
