Meeting rooms are often cold, that sucks. How did you feel about the rest of it, the format you describe here?
I'm not the only one complaining about the cold. Those who are on the same table as me, too, do feel the same.
Except I went and drank something warm and worn a jacket before they complained...

So, enjoying yourself on the one hand, breaking down on the other. It was all too much. How did your other roommates react? Crying? Falling asleep in class and on the ride home?
Tired like getting tired from travelling more likely.
But not exhausted or falling asleep or confused no... If so, then I've already been exhausted hours before they get tired.
Crying? Well, probably. Mostly during participation though. Justified that it's about peer counseling -- we practiced counseling. Therefore someone is bound to say something emotinally weighty...
But not all the way back home.
Heck, there's this newbie guy who's mostly with me throughout before, during, and after the event
(except when sleeping. Poor guy whose roommates are mute and deaf, and he doesn't know sign language
he got crazy at silence so bad, he went to my room and bug my roommates until midnight. And several occasions when he bugs someone else and I bug someone else).The guy was really surprised that I got sick and got exhausted -- no one else did, actually. Well, he knows why though. And I'm sure I explained enough that he definitely wouldn't dare to assume that I'm just another "introvert" who oh-just-so-happened to "enjoy academic subjects" stereotype.
He got curious about aspies though.
I always emphasized at the diversity part first before my own case by disclaiming it as my own translation and based on my own experience or knowledge alone than the whole fact or truth.
