Hello,
I am a first-time poster but long-time lurker…I feel a bit uncomfortable posting because I’ve never done this before nor do I know anyone here but I’d really appreciate advice/hearing about others’ experiences please because I’m struggling.
How long have people here experienced autistic burnout for?
Hi and welcome to the community as a poster! 
I'm sorry to hear of your struggles.
Alongside support from your GP, you might find these NAS resources helpful:
NAS - Autistic fatigue and burnout
NAS Professional Practice - Understanding autistic burnout
There's also some great (free) advice here from Dr Megan Neff - a neurodivergent author (who's also a clinician and advocate):
Autistic Burnout Recovery: How to Build a Recovery Plan
I also have this book of hers. It's very user-friendly, including lots of diagrams and worksheets:
The Autistic Burnout Workbook: Your Guide to Your Personal Recovery Plan
