Struggling with Autistic Burnout? You're Not Alone.
I know firsthand what it’s like to face burnout as a neurodivergent person. It’s tough, and traditional advice doesn’t always work for us. Through my own journey, I realized that burnout was cyclical and not linear for neurodivergent folks, and there were stages with different symptoms that required different levels of support. So, I created an Autistic Burnout Recovery Framework™ and Recovery Portals to fill the gap and give you the tools you need to recover. Here's a quick overview of each stage.
Pre-Burnout
-
You’re feeling the strain, even if you’re not fully burned out yet.
-
Recognize early signs like increased stress and irritability.
-
Focus on proactive self-care, stress management, and creating a sustainable routine.
Stage 1
-
You’re running on empty, doing just enough to get by.
-
Physically and mentally exhausted.
-
Focus on basic needs, essential tasks, and simple self-care to stabilize and start refilling your energy.
Stage 2
-
You have a bit more energy, but it’s still limited.
-
Create a routine that prioritizes rest and gently reintroduces joyful activities.
-
Avoid the temptation to push too hard, too soon.
Stage 3
-
Your energy levels are more stable, and you’re starting to feel more like yourself.
-
Reintroduce old routines with some modifications while prioritizing rest to avoid slipping back into deeper burnout.
