I've experienced burnout, but I don't know if it was solely autistic burnout and/or something else. I was not aware of being on the spectrum at the time, but since learning about that, it seems likely that my sensory and social challenges contributed…
They don't offer much for ME/CFS. I've been diagnosed with ME/CFS since the early 2000s. They pretty much just leave it; there is 'nothing they can do.' I've had way too much CBT for both apparently helping with severe depression and ME; CBT didn't…
