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

Deleted User

Am I odd as an autistic person in not experiencing burnout? Perhaps I've always been too disabled to experience it.Never experiencing the intense pressure that can be the downside of high achievement.

  • I thought I had everything under control and as I got older and believed I was autistic adjusted what I did so I took breaks where needed. However recently I reached a point of exhaustion due to circumstances beyond my control and realized I needed to start the process to request an assessment. I have however never experienced a shutdown. 

    I believe it also depends on how much you are able to experience the things that help you relax and unwind. For some of us this is not easy due to personal experiences. If you are able to take breaks which refresh you I guess it is possible to avoid a burnout period.
