autism is absoutely draining. im helping my grandma move and by the end of the day my battery is past gone. its the most frustrating thing. i just want to function like a normal human and be able to do this stuff without feeling like im having an internal meltdown.

      I struggle so much to do chores that (older) adults say are "part of life" like gee thanks! Things neurotypicals think are simple can be really overwhelming

        @Finking I totally understand! I can't work full time cuz I get too stressed out. But a coworker is like "you should work full-time. You just need to get in the mindset" I'm like sir I'm different from you & I know my limits

          @KatieKitKat ew "get in the mindset" knowing your limit is a massive strength in my opinion

      I totally understand I'm an NA and on my days or day off all I do is sleep and it feels like I can't sleep enough.

One user shared a similar experience, saying, "Being autistic and having a 'normal' job sucks. Everyone expects you to act NT, which requires some serious masking. And at the end of the day, I'm drained from all that effort." Another user mentioned feeling drained after visiting a nursing home for just an hour. It's common for individuals with autism to feel emotionally and physically drained in certain situations.
