So....by the standard of some of these “autism spectrum” experts, I’m still “autistic” because social situations exhaust me mentally because it’s takes a lot out of me mentally to make sure I hear the conversation.

No your a Vestibular patient. With it comes Cognitive Behavioral issues both in kids and adults as well. They didn't know that till very recently. Believe me I know. Only one doctor I can think of make the connection and he was scoffed at as being a quack for a long time.

Vestibular disorders or issues create a wide variety of other problems that go with it including even Dyslexic type symptoms. You can thank Dr Harold Levinson a research Neurologist for making one of the fisrt links in this. He atributes this to being a major cause of the growing Anxiety Disorders in adults.

Today Vestibular research has validate a lot of his 1970 era theories. My Vestibular issues had me labeled ADD ADHD. It wasn't because they were pushing Ritalin as this was in the 1960's. It was because reseach had not yet produced any answers. BTW I'm also single eye functional with two eye vision and very few eye doctors catch it till I tell them. I got a double sensory dose of it. Thankfully I got help early and was taught skills to live with it til it got so bad I could no longer work. Try this link a good one IMO. COGNITIVE ASPECTS OF VESTIBULAR DISORDERS

I know someone who had to go through vestibular therapy after a cerebral hemorrhage followed by stroke. It was not pretty, and the therapy can only do so much. On the other hand, without therapy he was utterly unable to function.
