My 15 yo experiences what I think is autistic burnout. I find it so hard to know what to do. Any advice ? Thanks
Hi yes he is diagnosed. He seems to shut down for days at a time ,stays in bed, doesn’t speak, then one day will get up for a few hours as if nothings happened. He won’t talk to me about it but it worries me
I don’t think that’s burning out.. my opinion ;-) I would generally only burnout until the next sleep. Are you sure he hasn’t got a “obsession “ whilst in bed.. Xbox, laptop, tablet? Talking to a lady friend? he’s 15 and I don’t think he’s burning out. But I wouldn’t know I’m just showing you different ideas.. my opinion again, if I stayed in bed, this would be a depression issue. My burnouts have mega physical issues.
