As you're recovering from burnout, if you're doing it in a way that's trying to deconstruct the reasons that you got into burnout in the first place, and form new patterns for the future, you might find that you'll still sometimes recognize that you've kind of reached your limit, that you're tired, you need to rest, but you're gonna push on anyway. 1/2

Genuine recovery for autistic burnout requires two things happening at once: 1) unlearning the old messaging and 2) building new ways of operating designed for an 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 nervous system, instead of borrowed from a world that wasn’t built for you.

Since I have been diagnosed I find showering much more difficult. I used to wash virtually every day, now I basically do it twice a week, or maybe every 4 days,and only then from a sense of shame.

I just realised a stim I have. I very gently clack my front teeth together in time with car indicators when they're left on for more than 5 or so seconds.

I am finding the story of #JasonArday really tragic. It looks likely he was bullied into suicide by (mostly) the right wing UK press, despite the fact that autists are 9x more likely to kill themselves than the average person, and suicide is the second most common cause of death for autistics. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/aug/14/jason-arday-found-dead-after-resigning-from-cambridge-over-plagiarism-claims?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other #Autism #autistic #neurodiverse @autistics #AutisticBurnout #ActuallyAutistic

Not long ago, I left a role I had every reason to think would be a dream fit.

On the way out, I got an unexpectedly kind gesture (pictured). I'm taking the high road, so no story-time about the job - just what I'm keeping from it:

- What burnout actually is, not the buzzword version.
- What autistic burnout actually does - not "tired", but losing skills you've had for years.
- How loud unmanaged micromanagement gets, until it's the only voice left in your head.
- That a body keeps its own record, even when you stop checking in on it.
- What it's like to need real pharmaceutical support - and watch it stop being enough on its own.
- How good "before" really was.

None of this makes me bitter.
It makes me determined.

Recovery starts now, and it's going to take a while - I've made peace with that part.

Hi, I’m Rook. I’m a 30-something nerdy #trans vixen.

I’ve been doing #WebDevelopment, #programming, and #database stuff since I was a kit, and I'm still loving it.

Currently, I am recovering from #AutisticBurnout and dealing with multiple #ChronicIllnesses.

Previously, I worked with complex #automation and #robotics systems in #HealthCare, doing a mix of #UserSupport, #SystemAdmin, and #DataAnalysis.

At home, I’m constantly tinkering with #SmartHome projects using #HomeAssistant, building my own #electronics, and battling my #3DPrinting hardware.

I also enjoy running around as a big, silly #fox in the #Furry fandom. #Fursuiter

I’m #ActuallyAutistic, #AuDHD, and #ADHD. I’m a proud #transgender member of the #LGBTQIA #queer community,

FYI, tomorrow is the last day for the early bird sign up bonus for my Autistic self-employment course.

Learn to build systems into your business that prevent burnout by design. It's not tips and tricks. Not "just rest more." It's real structure that creates the outcomes you want.
