#autisticburnout — Public Fediverse posts

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.

The way I see it, sustainable recovery is just as much about unlearning ableist crap as it is about learning skills for a healthy Autistic life.

In my 𝘽𝙚𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘽𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙩 course, I propose a holistic approach to addressing five major areas that I have found are essential for sustained burnout recovery. 1/2

Currently dealing with something super cool and awesome. Late diagnosed autistic, and currently going through what is quite severe autistic burnout.

The cool thing is that I just remembered a couple times I went non-verbal rather than fighting tooth and nail to mask and fawn, and how good it was for my body/senses/nerves to allow myself to go non-verbal instead... And yet, it feels so extremely humiliating in retrospect, that I can't or won't let myself do it this time.

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.

Eine liebe Bekannte fragte mich vor kurzem in einem Gespräch, warum es mir so wichtig sei, gesehen zu werden in dem, was war und was gerade ist, und ob es nicht reiche, wenn ich selbst es sähe und wüsste.

Das hat bei mir etwas berührt, das sehr tief sitzt. Und mir ist etwas klar geworden.

Das möchte ich gerne mit euch teilen.

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,

Ich bin zwar glücklicherweise nicht von Long Covid betroffen, aber die Auswirkungen eines autistischen Burnouts und die von ME/CFS können in der Symptomatik (Erschöpfung/geringe Belastbarkeit) ähnlich sein.

Ich habe daher diesen Fragebogen für eine erste Selbsteinschätzung sehr hilfreich gefunden:

I hate this time of year. The Dread starts around August when I 1st think abt the calls & making my excuses to avoid flying & all the end of the year stuff.

The Obligatory Thanksgiving calls are done so that's out of the way, but even though it's just me & my SO who I absolutely love not doing anything holiday-related, I'm still full-on in The Awful Time. The Holidays still happen & what is a well-needed break for most people is agonizing, life-draining hell for me.

My routines are destroyed for over a month. I'm always perceived. There's always noise. I'm locked in a masked freeze state. My time alone is completely stripped & I'm hiding in the bathroom just to get 5 minutes of solitude for a mini-meltdown so I can keep it together for another few hours. I am anxiously counting down until the holidays are over & I finally get a break from the chaos & intrusion. All while hating myself & feeling shame and guilt for every second of it because what an awful way to feel about spending time with someone you love. At least now I know I'm #Autistic & that's why.

35 days to go.

@bethan
After hearing that #MattHaig is #Autistic I decided to read all his books, realising they were written when he didn’t know he was Autistic.
I have started ‘#TheHumans which I am loving, and relating to 😁
As well as #ReasonsToStayAlive which he wrote when going through a crisis (#AutisticBurnout ? )
I haven’t read it yet tho.
It is comforting to read books by #ActuallyAutistic authors, we’re on the same wavelength 🙌
