Weakness and fatigue all the time

Have you seen a doctor about this? I would suggest getting a full panel blood test to see what's going on with your body.

i've gotten a full panel blood test. only four numbers were off the standard reference range, and only a slight amount.

I would suggest visiting a Naturopath if you have the money for it. I have been dealing with the exact same symptoms and my naturopath diagnosed me with adrenal fatigue. I am currently taking supplements to help heal my adrenal glands as well as give me more energy.

Unfortunately stress related illnesses like burnout are common with Autistic people.

I have ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) so I am weak and fatigued all the time. It's a specific illness so it's probably not what you have, but what helps is resting a lot and rationing my activities. I'm down to about 10% of what I would otherwise do. Have you done all you can to get solid sleep? That might help too.

thus far, i do not have a diagnosis for chronic fatigue syndrome or anything like that.

resting a lot helps me too. however, sometimes have trouble falling or staying asleep. sometimes (not that often) have too many things to do to sleep. but usually, it's just b/c emotionally worrying about something, and can't fall or stay asleep for a couple of hours.

doing fewer activities helps, but sometimes it is necessary to do a lot of activities. grocery costs skyrocketing since coronavirus. for over four years, my sister has been telling me that she wants to sell the house that i live in. when she sells the house, i have to pay rent. my current dumpsterfire "job" is only minimum wage and part time. the past couple of weeks, my job has been cutting hours. sooner or later, i have to get two or more full time minimum wage jobs, just to barely pay for room, board, utilities, and health insurance and public transportation. then, i won't be able to get enough sleep and i will be too emotionally disturbed to sleep anyways.

on days off work, usually, i wake up, breakfast, bowel movement. two hours after waking up, i take a one hour nap. then bowel movement again.

on days where i work, usually, on the bus or bart on the way to work (about 9am), that's the most sleepy i get during the day. usually, go to bed 9pm. usually wake up 5am but past couple of months been waking up 3am.
