Many Autistics and many ADHDers need more rest for our nervous systems to be able to process the sensory information that we’re taking in, the social information we’re taking in, to be able to regulate, and to really actually feel rested.

@hmm_cook

this helps to explain why I am energized all day when I stay home alone, but require extensive naps after returning from an outing.

length of nap is proportional to length of outing × intensity of social interaction.

@hmm_cook why does this feel like a call out? 😅
(I know why: because I don't rest enough and I know it but I don't want it to be true/I try to ignore it
(I don't want to imply that this was your intention. Or criticize the post in any way. It is a helpful 'call out'))

@Larymir What would be different if you let go of what you want to be true, and accepted what is true?
