Am I odd as an autistic person in not experiencing burnout?

Hi    From personal experience, you're not missing anything!  A quick search of the internet suggests that anecdotal reports abound and the scientific literature begins to show roughly 2/3 of diagnosed people have experiences of it.  Measuring and validating autistic burnout - Mantzalas - 2024 - Autism Research - Wiley Online Library  In my personal case it was experiencing burnouts that led to acknowledging autism/getting diagnosis so I figure that finding a "true" figure for the incidence of burnout in autism will be tricky to measure and the counting it will be biased because it is maybe a reason why people seek diagnosis.  As regards being too disabled - "high achievement" well, perhaps isn't what it's cracked up to be if with it comes burnout.  Look what happened to Icarus.  Retrospectively perhaps preferable a nice glide above the waves than getting wings burnt off in the sun!
