Useful resources/webinars etc on burnout, extreme withdrawal and hygiene issues in adults?

Anyone know of any good resources on these subjects?  I.e. not descriptive stuff but info on how to help from the outside in the role of parent/carer to young adults?  Getting desperate here but reluctant to involve services because they tend not to be very autism friendly or aware.

    Working through the various resources, some of which I'd already come across.  And I'm wondering - is there anywhere where I can find definitions of specific terms?  In particular, I'm looking to differentiate between burnout, chronic burnout, shutdown, catatonia and being "deep in defence mode" (that latter term borrowed from Asperger Experts).

    I'd also like more information (if it exists) on how to help someone out of what I think is chronic burnout.  i.e. totally closed down, uncommunicative, living in one room, refusing to engage with services.  Situation ongoing for some years now and so far I've not found anything to really help.
