Got my formal diagnosis yesterday (still waiting on the full report) after many years suspecting I was autistic but not seeing the need to get it confirmed later in life.
As I'm "enjoying" my third stint of being off work with stress/burnout I felt it was time to seek diagnosis as I was learning autistic burnout was a thing.
With my diagnosis in hand it's time to review my burnout pattern and, hopefully, break the cycle!

Hello, I think it is important to remember that burnout is going to occur inevitably, as the world around us is a dynamic environment. Consequently, you should put more focus on how to adapt to burnout and cope with it. I thought I should mention this since I myself, after my diagnosis, previously held the belief that with knowledge, it would solve my burnout problems. However, burnout is usually exhausting and very overwhelming to manage.
Essentially, just keep in mind that mitigating burnout is important for sure, but sometimes certain environments that cause burnout are unavoidable. Hence, learning to adapt to the burnout-causing environments, and learning to recover more quickly from burnout is equally, if not more important.
