Autistic burnout is where autistic people have reached their limit on a physical, mental and emotional level. Some might call it autistic regression & people have said that burnout makes people "more autistic". In today's video, I talk openly and honestly about my autism burnout experiences, what autistic burnout is and some tips to manage burnout.

The reality of autism burnout is very real where it leaves some autistic people feeling vulnerable, unsure of themselves & feeling depressed. These autism burnout symptoms can make daily activities, daily tasks even more challenging to cope with.

I have experienced autism burnout a few times over the last few years and it is a trait of autism I truly dislike. Because autism burnout makes me feel very tired, less able to cope with simple tasks that I've done millions of times before. I feel more agitated which causes more meltdowns for me which is not pleasant.

Coping with autism burnout is something I am still trying to do but I have a few tips for autistic burnout which do help me. Give yourself time. Don't take a lot on during burnout. Make time for you. Maybe look into energy accounting to help you balance out what you put your energy into.

Have you got any tips of how to handle autism burnout? Let's us all know in the comments.
