In the second part of the conversation with Dr. Megan Neff, a clinical psychologist specializing in autism, we delve deeper into autistic burnout, exploring triggers such as life transitions, masking, and sensory overwhelm. Megan  explains that burnout arises when stressors exceed coping abilities and offers self-help tips for managing an autistic style brain and nervous system. She emphasizes the importance of sensory self-care, recognizing and understanding one's neurodivergence, and proper screening by healthcare providers. The discussion also includes insights from her book, 'Self Care for Autistic People,' (https://www.simonandschuster.com/book...) and advice for clinicians, loved ones, and individuals living with autism or ADHD.

When I started this podcast and YouTube Channel (   / @cqrfibromyalgia  ) —and the book (https://www.amazon.com/Conquering-You...) that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That’s why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you’ve been told fibromyalgia “isn’t real” or that it’s “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you’ll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 29+ years as an MD.
