Or health, in a sense. Recently I’ve been seriously overworking myself, but the only signs that I can notice early on are mental. Such as being unable to stay on a task or project for more than 10 minutes at a time max, or forgetting how to talk properly and slurring my speech.

And to put in perspective how exhausted my actual body is, I’ve been just straight up collapsing, barely able to walk straight, shaky noodle legs and the such. But I don’t notice any actual physical problem until I literally fall over, and then I’m like “Oh, I should sleep or stop and relax” or something.

Is this a thing anyone else experiences? I was diagnosed with the AuDD combo a while back but I’ve been unmedicated, since being poor in America and all that.

    It’s kinda hard to do that when you’re scheduled on all shifts and have to live paycheck to paycheck. It’s pretty much impossible to make a habit

      Well that only works in the very short term. You can’t do that forever.

      I can’t pretend to know your situation but I do know you can’t keep pushing yourself forever. Something had to change because that doesn’t work especially for autism.
