Does anyone know any good strategies to reduce the effects of burnout?
I have recently bought a couple of fidget cubes and a fidget pen (due to work need to look somewhat professional) and that has helped slightly, but it's still causing me some annoyance and effecting my work.
You can't, Once your in a state of burnout like an autistic meltdown you have to wait it out and recover. fighting it will increase the time it takes to recover.
The ideal professional thing would be to have an advocate assist you in a meeting with your employer and discuss workload and work expectation and reasonable adaptations' that can be in place and if need some paid time off, or use your holiday allowance to have time off.
You do understand that there are a multitude of adaptations that your employer can make and through access to work it may cover the expenses of adaptive technology. Light adaptations and even pay for walls altered to a less offending colour within reason.
I am still learning about Autism, wishful thinking
