Can ASD cause such severe physical exhaustion in this way? For the last 3 years I’ve had every test possible to find a reason for my severe exhaustion. Nothing has been identified. I was diagnosed with ASD when I was in my teens (also ADHD but I feel this is more to do with my ASD?).
I can’t function - if I actually go out then for 1-2 weeks afterwards I have to sleep multiple times in the day (I can’t actually keep my eyes open it’s not even that I choose to go for a nap I just start falling asleep ?)
I feel physical pain in the form of aching or pains, sometimes a particular muscle feels bruised ?
It stops me speaking when at it’s worst it as if my brain is so exhausted it can’t formulate speech (similar to what I’ve experienced with migraines )
I get palpitations, dizziness and fainting , often out of breath too but lung function fine etc. heart fine except rapid heart rate sometimes
Is this extended burnout ? Or should I be pressing for more tests ? I don’t feel like it’s a physical cause despite the very physical symptoms . What do I do I feel like I’m too exhausted constantly
