TOPIC: VIDEO CONFERENCE: Fatigue is Normal in ASD/NT Relationships
WHEN: Tuesday, November 3rd, at 4 pm PST
Why are we always tired? I mean, bone-weary exhausted? This pandemic is taking a toll on us, but when you live with people on the spectrum this becomes our normal state. Emotional abuse, lack of respect for boundaries, no reciprocity, fighting for a scrap of time for yourself, and on and on and on.
Many in this group are actually pretty healthy and do lots of self-care. Even so fatigue sets in. Why? Because no one is really designed for the daily slog through the obstinate and self-absorption of our ASD loved ones. I suspect it takes years off your life.
In this video conference, I want to get serious about self-care. Setting strong boundaries with our “Aspies” is as important as taking time out for yourself. Let’s practice the boundary setting.
