I am having the same experience. For me, ASD burnout resulted in a new inability to ignore symptoms of underlying chronic illnesses and an almost immediate dependency on mobility aids seemingly "out of nowhere." Many things have changed for me suddenly, such as skill regression, memory loss, and even things like my handwriting and appetite.

That seems pretty similar to what I'm struggling with. Any advice on mobility aids? Like where to get them, how to choose which is most appropriate, and what is available for different issues, etc?
