This is getting a lot of pooh-poohing, but I get what they mean. Before I was diagnosed in my late teens I would come home after school, barely functional, and just shut down until bed time because I didn’t know what was happening wasn’t normal or how to deal with it. There is a difference between relaxing and sitting in an overstimulated, exhausted pile, even if they look similar from the outside.
