Autistic Fatigue

So today I attended another support group session. Todays topic was on anxiety and burnout. As I knew about social anxiety already, from being diagnosed with it longer, the session confirmed lots of previous knowledge.

Once back home I found a little guide for adults with autistic fatigue on The National Autistic Society website which may be an interesting read for some.

In time I discovered through other personality tests that I was also both a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and an Empath. It didn’t stop there though, during Covid I went to a Mental Health nurse who said I had Social Anxiety. Then I was finally diagnosed with what was once called Aspergers, High Functioning Autism, Level 1 Autism or Mild Autism. Generally these days it is known as Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) due to the baggage other labels sometimes carry. I'm not sure where things go from here. It is a late diagnosis, but in a way explains so much. I don't believe this is a disorder, disease or demon. It is merely a difference, a neurodivergence.
