Welcome to the site. You might pass on a little information about yourself if you feel able to do this.
Thanks for the welcome. Honestly, my current shutdown mode is so deep at the moment it's hard for me to say more. Maybe I'm too far gone to verbalize what I feel or what I came here for ( I score high on alexythimia). I was professionally late-diagnosed 4 years ago (AQ 39 / RITVO 145 / Aspie Quiz 149, latest results) and I think I feel overwhelmed by the sense of loss due to very late dx (lost years). When not in burnout I like books, history, music, politics - all irretrievably lost to corruption and greed or so it seems from my current point of view. I'm not the life of the party as you can see. I also have severe, chronic PTSD (type 1 and 2) which feeds my ASD burnouts / meltdowns and vice-versa. I don't have a job: I've given up on work altogether bc of discrimination and bullying (more like "mobbing", really). Thanks for asking.
