The Struggle of Being Autistic and Ill

idk what illness you are specifically referring to but when im so so sick from like a a stomach virus i get so stressed just because i cant sit up and play my video games (my special interest). like i HAVE to be in bed all day? How will i survive without my special interest 😭😭 but i always just stick through the pain (if i can) to play on my pc so. yep

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
