Managing Autistic Burnout: Everyday Strategies for Recovery

In this video, I share eight strategies that have been helping me manage my symptoms of autistic burnout and support my recovery.

These strategies are based on my personal experience, online research, and are not professional medical or mental health advice. Please consult with a healthcare provider for your specific situation.

Autistic burnout or autism burnout is a significant challenge faced by many in the neurodivergent community, yet it’s often misunderstood. It’s a state of physical and mental exhaustion triggered by prolonged stress, sensory overload, and societal pressure, especially when we try to meet overwhelming expectations.

From brain fog to the daily pressures of navigating society, autistic burnout presents unique hurdles. In this video, I’ll break down the strategies that have helped me, and I hope they can help you too.

Check out the resources below for more information on autistic burnout and self-care strategies. If you have tips or thoughts, I’d love to hear them in the comments—let’s work together to create a more supportive community for everyone!

For clarification, while I believe neurodivergent burnout affects many, autistic burnout has been more extensively researched than other forms of neurodivergent burnout. Societal factors play a significant role.
