    Strategies for Autistic Burnout/Chronic Fatigue

    Strategies for Autistic Burnout/Chronic Fatigue

    Today I am going to talk about strategies for dealing with Autistic Chronic Fatigue. I want to be clear at the start here that I have no idea what causes chronic fatigue syndrome or CFS. CFS may have multiple underlying causes. We don't know. However the symptoms do seem to be shared in a similar way by multiple people. My working hypothesis is that it seems like a different condition in Autistics for the same reason that everything else seems different in Autistics. It's because Allistics and Autistic are wired differently.

Love the interviews!

This is great listening . However, I wish the host tried harder not to interrupt the speaker and let them finish their sentence.
