For years I resisted getting a professional evaluation of whether or not I was actually autistic because the family member that had been suggesting it can exhibit sort of a projected hypochondria (e.g. any sniffle means I should go to the doctor because it might be pneumonia), but in the end they were right on the autism count.
More recently, there’s been some suggestion by them that I also might be suffering from some form of chronic fatigue syndrome (a.k.a. “myalgic encephalomyelitis”), but investigating the cause, or causes, of my fatigue has been on hold while my doctors chase down everything else apparently going wrong with my body.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately because I find it interesting that there’s both research looking into mitochondria and ME/CFS and also research looking into mitochondria and ASD.
