Being ill and autistic is just the worst. Like peopel dont really talk about how it can affect you in a different way. especially with sensory issues and your illness is making you feel even more sensitive and weak and constantly going hot and cold. and then also not being able to stick to usual routines which messes up with my autistic head because i’m ill. And there’s just so many other things. i dunno wheather i’m the only who feels like this?

I feel this. I get so disregulated when I am sick. Work and socializing is a nightmare to navigate. And the sensory he$$, Gah!

I have chronic fatigue and pain and have been sick on and off for nearing a year and it's the worst. Nausea and pain over stimulate me so my CFS gets worse and I frequently sound angry when I'm not because I lose control over my tone when I'm nearing an overload. I hate not being able to keep track of things the way I could if I wasn't always sick and not being able to follow a schedule feels both frustrating and like it's impairing my life worse because I also have ADHD so I get to have an entire planned out schedule that I follow closely or nothing at all and very little gets done. Hopefully you'll feel better soon

You are not alone in feeling this way. Many people with autism experience increased sensitivity and emotional distress when they are sick. Sensory issues can be exacerbated by illness, making it difficult to cope with the physical discomfort and changes in routine that come with being unwell.
