So, I have a family. When I do something memorable in a weekend which involves social action (such as going to the zoo with the family, or a birthday party), I need to recover from it. I can't do something similar next weekend, I need to relax the weekend after. Maybe its the fact I am autistic.

I don't fancy the life calendar stuff. I am very curious by nature, and curiosity I find the most important in 'doing'. I really don't need to stimulate that, just like I don't need psychedelics or weed to get open minded (been there, done it).

I'm the same. I've attributed it to being a natural introvert. Extroverts seem to gain energy through social interactions, and can do one social event after another. Introverts seem to expend energy, and need a recharge between.
