For Autistics in autistic burnout, recovery requires 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨, not more pushing through. That would perpetuate the cycle into another burnout. But it is entirely possible to learn new skills even when it feels like you aren't able to right now. 1/2

Here's a short description of how autistic burnout starts.
It think it often comes from a piling up of external and internalized stresses for a long period of time, usually due to a lack of acceptance, or support, in how we as Autistics function, and think, and experience the world.
And that criticism, or denying, or frustration, or straight up training to pretend to be less Autistic gradually depletes our energy reserves, and leads to a systemwide shut down.
𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is another skill that is necessary for recovering from autistic burnout. In my workshops and courses, I give frameworks, and share the method, but the 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨 are going to be different for all of us.
Because we’re different people: my personality is different, my background is different, my race is different, my gender expression is different, my environment is different, the people I’m with are different. 1/3
