Hi everyone,
I’m new to the community and wanted to introduce myself. I’m a 52-year-old man, and I’m trying to understand and recover from what I think may be autistic burnout.
I’d really like to hear from other autistic adults who have been through burnout themselves. I’m especially interested in what it felt like for you, how you recognised it, what helped, and what didn’t help.
I’m not looking for medical advice, just lived experience and peer support from people who understand. I’m finding it difficult to explain this to people who haven’t experienced it, so I thought this might be a good place to start.
If anyone is comfortable sharing, I’d be grateful to hear how burnout affected you and what helped you begin to recover.
Thanks for reading.
