If you are currently employed, you might consider talking with your employer about your diagnosis. Now take in mind that it’s not a good idea for everyone, as some employers don’t understand ASD like they should, but I feel as though for most employers it’s good that they are aware of it. You can possibly ask for accommodations such as more breaks, a quieter space when overwhelmed, or clearer instructions depending on your situation. Also, if you burn out, it wouldn’t shock your employer as much if you make them aware of your condition ahead of time.
Hopefully that helps! Also Stuart333 nailed it that the first step is being kind to yourself. That’s key.
