As Autistics, we often learn at a very early age to simply numb our experiences, to numb the perceptions of how bad it really is. Or we fight the signals and everything feels like you’re battling the world constantly, all the time. Either way, it takes an extraordinary amount of energy. It’s exhausting. 1/4

Another invaluable skill to fully recover from autistic burnout is 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. You can develop the skill of attuning to what your internal state is in the moment, of what your needs are, what your emotions are, what your desires are.

Because you can't go towards something that you want if you don't know what it is you want.

I’m Heather, I’m Autistic and ADHD, and I know this burnout stuff so intimately because I’ve been through two major, life-halting burnouts, and a dozen smaller ones throughout my life.

I searched for years to find anything that would provide more than minor, temporary relief. I tried just about everything to get my life back. I struggled for years to find anything that actually helped, and threw away what didn’t. 1/6

Autistic burnout isn't the problem, it's the solution.

It's the major wake up call, the kick in the ass, the hit the wall, rock bottom moment that will get you to actually finally fix the things in your life that don't work, that haven't been working for a long time.

It's showing you that your life doesn't work for you. 1/3

Trying new things is uncomfortable, but it is 𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 when you're recovering from autistic burnout.

I like to think about getting comfortable with discomfort. With discomfort that is leading to good things. Because as you’re trying new and different things, new ways of thinking, new ways of doing things, new ways of thinking about yourself, a lot of it is going to be unfamiliar. 1/2

Erkältungssymptome sind plötzlich verschwunden. War dann wohl kein Virus sondern Stress.
Musste die letzten Tage auch jeweils über 12h schlafen.

Weiß nicht welche Anforderungen ich noch reduzieren soll um mich besser zu fühlen 🙄 Ich mache doch nur das Nötigste.

Ich fange mit besserer Planung an. Essenspläne. Einkaufslisten. Essen vorkochen.
