Understand the common experiences of late-diagnosed and self-diagnosed autistic adults, helping you make sense of your own story.
How it differs from “regular” tiredness, why it lasts longer, and why naming it matters.
The subtle red flags most of us miss (sleep shifts, avoidance, irritability, sensory spikes) and why catching them matters.
What actually helps (beyond bubble baths), gentle re-entry to joy, and the starter framework for your prevention plan.
