what exactly is autistic burnout?

what are the symptoms and mindset and any other relevant info?

ive been working as a volunteer warehouse assistant and also filling in on shop floor and elsewhere as needed, every day of week, from before opening, until closing, usually 9am - 6 pm, 11am - 5pm sundays, by choice i must add, so im just wondering if theres any signs i should look out for? again i feel i must state im awaiting asd assessment. cheers.

Prevention works best for us, I don't want another burnout

So I limited my working hours to 30h per week, otherwise i won't get till christmas I told them at work,

maksimum once a week going out to see friends, I told them we can talk online, but going out more often isn't good for me

If I don't have enough spoons to deal with daily stuff I don't push myself anymore, dishes stays dirty for days sometimes
