I replied to a post earlier today and said I would post some resources on a few topics. I thought it might be helpful to others so I decided I would make a few posts and just direct the individual to the posts.

I think it’s important for people to realize that autistic burnout is very different from other types of burnout and needs different treatment. I’m currently dealing with some serious bullshit because my workplace thinks I have occupational burnout despite medical documentation otherwise and has decided I don’t need any accomodations. 🫠 (I live in a place with very strong protections and have access to a lot of support so I know I will win this battle but it still fucking sucks)!

I’m not up to date on who is problematic so if you want to let me know one of these sources sucks, please go ahead and comment so others know, I promise I won’t take it personally.

Please also add any other resources you might want to share!

Recovering from autistic burnout can take time — sometimes even years, depending on how severe it is. Your goal isn’t to “get back to normal.” It’s to adjust your lifestyle to help prevent it from happening again.

Eta: this is an embarrassingly short post but I’m exhausted lol
