Yes, the exhaustion is of a different nature and that probably makes it hard to understand for neurotypicals.

For me, I have no problem working hard on intellectual tasks (translating science books) pretty much all day, but I completely collapse at any social interaction (or even the thought of it) and get panic and a kind of brain freeze.

But because I still do incredible amounts of work, people can't believe I'm suffering of burnout.
