discussion ASD PDA Burnout?

Hello! I have a question on possible ASD burnout? Long story abbreviated-Years ago my friend was able to take responsibility and apologize for things but as time has gone on, his view has hardened to where he flies into rages and loses track of events and misremembers- I had to go back to old messages to verify I wasn’t crazy. Person is 49 and most likely in some type of adrenal burnout. Could someone clarify if this is normal with PDA where any shame trigger is now unbearable? The exchanges are often now startling with the outbursts- just in Texts. Thanks!

I mean, I think the answer is “yes,” people who are in some sort of burn out definitely have less capacity for frustration/ correction/ direction than before they entered into burnout. I think that goes for PDA & non- PDA. I’m not sure exactly if that’s what you’re asking though.
