My autism isn't going away. Professional help resulted in the advice of: "Take time off from people when your social batteries are depleted, because otherwise you burn out and fall into a depression (that was the constant circle I was in until I got my diagnosis and started to accept what I can and can't do)."
There is no solution that doesn't deplete my social batteries, while neurotypical people load their batteries when being in contact with other people mine do not and never will. I still see friends and have conversations with a lot of people, I need that I am not a hermit but carefully planned and spread out and if possible online and not in person because that makes it less straining.
I would have to pull the lever late to save only the last 10 people, sorry for the others. /s
