The thing about cognitive fatigue or “brain fog” is that it doesn’t change the way your brain works: it just scrambles it. You still have the same curiosities & drive for learning & knowledge, but you’ve lost the ability to learn & think at the speed & capacity you did before. Hence the disability.

Being a polymath autodidact w AuDHD is actually a curse I don’t wish this on anyone. My ADHD is going all Bob the Builder over here while my autism is like no we cannot do this until we fully review and update everything on the topic & I just want to cry bc I’m a freakin drama teacher.
