The skill regression, burnout, and inability to mask all checked out once I hit my late 30s.

I’m regressing but therapy sounds like it will only make it worse. It’s so hard to talk about my feelings, especially when someone doesn’t get what I’m trying to say or know how I feel. I just start crying and can’t stop. Rejection sensitivity is so bad I just isolate and try to regain my strength and learn who I am.

I know isolation is bad… but honestly it’s the only way I can deal with it.

Same. But at the same time I am relaxing too. Letting go of the things I always had a death grip on just to fit in is freeing.

Diagnosed at 7, and somehow it’s gotten worse as I’ve aged. I’m far more emotionally unstable than I’ve ever been in the past.

I went through this while I was unmasking and healing from burnout. Things got easier for me again over time! Skill regression and fatigue are unfortunately normal when you’re exiting survival mode. It’s your body’s way of conserving energy and protecting itself from further harm from you trying to do too much. It’s yelling at you to slow down and throwing a metaphorical tantrum so you pay attention and heal. Sending everyone love who’s going through this rn💜

Autism was Manageable as a kid but when you are grown people expect to much and you can’t keep up

Can't even go to the store now because it's too overstimulating, but I used to work at a store with no sensory issues 😩

Covid made it so much worse. I use to be able to wing it with the best of them and now I’m just a shell of my former self. Idk how I did any of it.
