As a person with AuDHD who has experienced burnout multiple times and is now eleven years burnout free, I’ve used these phrases to help me improve a number of different areas of my life:
- When I’m happy, let myself be happy.
- When I’m tired, let myself be tired.
- When I’m sick, let myself be sick. (i.e. Don’t push through and overdo it.)
- When I’m excited, let myself be excited.
- When I’m feeling good, let myself feel good.
Etc.
One really important tool during autistic burnout recovery is 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚. Being able to respond to yourself with compassion. Even when things go wrong, even when you make poor choices, even when you make reasonable choices and it all goes kablooey.

I’ve gotten amazingly positive feedback on my course, Beyond Autistic Burnout, so much that it even surprised me.
The testimonials I share here and on the info page for the course are from the first round participants, who found it genuinely useful, and often used words like “life changing.”
Did it fix all the problems in their lives? No, of course not. --->

Autistic burnout is the final straw. It's the most obvious, physical sign of things that have been going on below the surface for a long time.
So what is the root of the issue? Does any of this sound familiar?
You've probably been feeling stressed or over-taxed for a while, but it didn't feel like there was anything that could give, any way to let up, anything you could get out of doing. 1/7
