In this video, we will go over what autistic burnout is, how it manifests in ones life, and coping strategies when you find yourself in autistic burnout. As a late diagnosed autistic woman, understanding what autistic burnout is, has helped me honor my own limitations while simultaneously embracing my strengths.

i think i'm experiencing the most intense/longest burnout i've had since realizing i'm autistic. everything you said, especially about not having the energy to make food for yourself, resonated so deeply. i've been eating so poorly because i'm just so mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted, and my chronic illnesses have started to flare up too. i've been watching so many videos about ASD and burnout and shutdowns, and finally being able to put into words what those feel like, and having those experiences validated by other people on the spectrum experiencing similar feelings, is so incredibly comforting and helps me feel less alone. thank you for these videos, i'm v excited for more 💕

my ableist parents want me to stop pretending to be burnout and start being normal again. i think this is sign for me to move out because i have had very scary nonverbal episodes and falls because the stress is getting to me my stims have also become more erratic and i find myself talking out loud more frequently as i try to counsel myself and get everything i need to get done despite my very frequent episodes that level me exhausted and depressed as i myself gradually lose my ability to function. i haven’t done my laundry in months, showering is becoming difficult especially washing my hair, i only eat because my dad helps me by reminding me when to eat, wake up for school and get ready for work. and yet my mother insist that i’ll be better once i start behaving normally again, i can’t believe my mother is the reason i mask so heavily and get suicidal. i was doing so well but because of my severe episode she says i demand her an apology because of what i did and how i threw a show on. does she know how often i think of drowning myself in my bathroom or throwing myself down the stairs because if i have physical injuries then maybe i’ll finally be taken seriously. i even started biting myself again, something that i haven’t done since i was a child. i’m doing my best to fight these intrusive thoughts but it is very difficult. i have been calling the crisis line everyday for the last couple of weeks even my regular therapy isn’t providing relief or insight into my behavior and why i’m so darn sensitive lately. i wish there were more resources available i want to function again and take back my life without needing to mask just so that society accepts me an doesn’t see me as a liability. i love my job but it is physically and emotionally demanding i can’t just be in my npc customer service voice and bury myself in work. i feel like a failure of an adult. i don’t want pity nor sympathy i just want answers, what is the next step. i have never been one to advocate for my needs seriously but this time i’m not giving up because my survival depends on it.

I honestly think I had my first burnout when I was in middle school. My classmates started to notice I stood out and all of my childhood friendships ended. I hadn’t started masking yet but I was in a state of confusion. I remember feeling exhausted and having a lot of anxiety and meltdowns. I felt anxious about having a serious illness that was making me tired all the time. This was the start to what eventually became masking when I was in high school, escalating mental health issues, and finally getting diagnosed after completely socially withdrawing throughout college.

I didn't know I was autistic until this year. So I'm not used to knowing what will contribute to meltdowns or burnouts and it's ..a learning curve. The biggest thing that impacts me is change. This week has been full of drastic change and chaotic events. None of it was expected so now I'm burnt out whilst trying to process all of this change and uncertainty. I'm in Autistic hell, I have to laugh or I will cry. Never underestimate how much change and uncertainty contribute to burn out bc of the emotional overwhelm that comes with it. Same for anything to do with people. I need to drastically lower my expectations of myself because this hit me like a tonne of bricks and I'm barely hanging on. It's very frustrating to be a perfectionist who wants everything done yesterday and to be a person who gets burnt out by normal human life.

Wow!! My burnouts are the same.. Food isnt at the top of the list and I struggle more when im burnt out. Everything you talked about is what i go through. its refreshing to hear others are similar to me🤗Im 47 yr young lol and i have not yet been officially diagnosed. But.... i know im on the spectrum, i have done so many tests and theres no denying it.. I feel i have to actually go get officially diagnosed as my close family and friends will need to know. But deep down i know. All my life since age 4 i knew i thought differently. My siblings and friends also knew I was, there words.. Bit special, weird at times, over sensitive, gets depressed and anxious easily, do things to stimulate, eg pick at my nails (ive always done this since 4) hate public spaces that are noisy and congested. Cities are not good for me. Have to sleep with earplugs in to drop off to sleep. Too many people talking at once can also make me loss it lol..list goes on..Ive pulled away from alot over the years, and felt like I didnt belong to normal activities, jobs etc.. I finally feel like i now know why... Im 101% sure im on the spectrum.. and im ok with it too..😊

This soup is really easy. Put the hob on medium to high. Heat some fat/oil. I use ghee or clarified butter (tastes good keeps longer than butter don't have to use much don't have to buy often.) You can use whatever cooking oil or fat you have. Heat a little up. Fry a handful or two of frozen veg. I use a carrot onion celery mix. Some leeks and some spinach usually but what you have is good. Pop that in the heated fat stir, season, I go to town on the salt because I don't use a stock cube. I also use pepper and a grating of nutmeg. Then, pop the lid on. Put a full kettle on to boil, i use this as a timer/reminder of what I'm doing. When the kettle has boiled put in enough water to cover the veg and a wee bit more. Just a touch. Give it a good stir make sure all is not frozen. Let simmer for a mo. Then put in two dessert spoons of instant mash and give a good stir. If it's too thick add a bit of water, too thin a touch more mash. Use a hand blender done. If you have it a bit of cheese on top if not all good. I try to have a loaf of sliced bread in the freezer too. Very handy for toast and some kind of nut butter and banana.

Burn out and shutdowns are no joke. I got my diagnosis earlier this year - ASD level 1. Still wrapping my head around it, but everything in the past makes a lot more sense now. I've experienced several periods of burn-out and shut-down over the past 40 years. The first cost me a high school diploma. Following ones cost me careers as an architect and as a college professor. I became suicidaly depressed after the last one, something that lasted for 8 years. Ketamine infusion therapy snapped me out of it in 2018. One treatment. It's exensive, but it was a miracle for me. The anxiety and shame that drove my depression / shutdown immediately stopped. I became productive again, and started practicing architecture on my own. Anyone - autistic or not - suffering from depression or shut-down / burn-out should consider the treatment. It has over 20 years of serious medical based research evidence supporting it's effectiveness. It all started at Yale school of medicine in the 90s. Google "Ketamine infusion theraphy for depression" for more information. Anyway, great topic - thatnks for posting your expereinces with autistic burn-out. I think we burn-out with certain (most) people too because of the shaming / invalidating way they tend to treat us. Not good. Maybe another topic to delve into...

I get so burnt out after nearly every social interaction ;-; I hope this isn't too personal, but would you ever consider making a list of your stims and/or showing what they look like? If not, that's totally understandable. But as someone who's just starting my adventure down the ASD rabbit hole, I understand the concept of stimming, but I think I get a little confused about what makes autistic stimming unique to autism, especially considering that most sources say that everyone stims. I assume autistic people probably do it more, and maybe there are specific movements that are more common in people with ASD, but I'm not 100% sure. I've also heard some conflicting information regarding stimming. Some people have said that stimming is involuntary in autists. Others have said that it's a choice. My understanding from this is that most (or all?) autistic people *need* to stim, but many can also choose not to if they want or need to stop. Is that accurate? If you made it this far, thanks so much. I appreciate your time and attention :)
@neurodivergentme
@neurodivergentme 3 жыл бұрын
I have thought about doing a video showing my stims. When I was learning about autistic traits, I totally thought I didn't stim because I didn't actually know what counted as a stim. I definitely stim 🤣 From what I understand, autistic people do need to stim but can choose to suppress it. When It's suppressed you risk the chance of experiencing burnout, meltdown, or shutdown. I'm only recently starting to understand and appreciate what stimming does for me. My most frequent stims include joint popping and stretching in a specific pattern, chewing my cheeks & lip, picking my cuticles, frequent throat clearing, and air swallowing.

Im in the same rabbit hole as you, from my experience (not diagnosed) my "stims" are extremely involuntary most of the time (basically all my life) until recently as I started learning about ASD, I've started to embrace the feeling of when my body wants to stim (usually I try my best to suppress it in public though) I personally describe it as the feeling of a sneeze coming on, and everyone knows how agonizing it is to hold in those! The best thing you can do is just let it out! However that may be :)

I can't watch this without crying because I never in my life have been able to hold a job. And it often took me two years to recover from three months of work. People told me it's depression but I think it is ASD since I researched that my whole life made sense. But I am afraid to go round and say I think I have that because even doctors treated me like they don't believe me. Even though I first diagnosed myself with all the things I have and it later proved to be correct. Like ADD, PCOS and C PTSD. But people who don't know me don't know how well I do my research and think I am a hypochondriac or sth. I am so frustrated with all of this.

I just got diagnosed as autistic a couple months ago. I'm fairly positive I've been experiencing somewhat regular burnouts for a long time. Like you related, chronic pain/illness lowers my limits a lot. Somewhat ironically, I have to thank my developing chronic illnesses for helping my therapist ascertain I should seek an autism assessment, and helping me get my diagnosis. Before getting sick, my masking abilities were fantastic. My therapist admitted she doesn't know much about autism, so I'm gonna use my notes from your video and from other creators' autism burnout videos to help inform my therapist more about autism, autism burnout, and depression. She also diagnosed me with major depression; while I do have winter depression, depression as a condition has never felt like it fit me enough. Eventually I'll find a new therapist, after I learn/process more and get married and move across my state. I deeply appreciate you for making this video, and for growing the autistic community 💕

I'm trying to let go of judgement as I realize that even when I'm on top of eating well and exercising (as my body allows) I can feel so fatigued and know. It's related to overwhelm from work and some kinda of social interactions. I have ADHD and PMDD and have been wondering if I have Autism or am a HSP. This last week I have been extra sensitive to sensory stuff and more drained from people. I took this Camouflaging Autistic Traits questionnaire and scored so high! Since then I've been extra emotional recognizing how hard I mask and have all my life. I think I'm beginning to feel burnout. I'm going to talk to my therapist and my manager about this.

I see he isn’t doing anything to make it better.. he gets distant very often and I haven’t seen him much throughout our over 2 years relationship. I don’t know what I can do to make it better since he always get irritated whatever I do or say when it’s all coming from caring for him. It hurts

I’m not sure which one this could fall into category wise but every time I get back from an appointment with my therapist about all of my other mental health disorders are usually end up having to sleep because I just get so drained mentally physically emotionally and I just have to sleep it off and I do have trouble trying to get myself to eat as well as taking care of my wife it’s difficult it hurts and right now I just gotten back from a appointment with my therapist a couple hours ago and I have nothing but racing sites sounds around me are like stabbing me in the brain and I can hear everything I can smell everything I can can’t keep my thoughts straight because I have so many going all at once and I just want to get some sleep because I didn’t get any sleep last night at all and I’m not sure how much more of these I can take before I just want to scream and I haven’t eaten yet today because of this help advice please

I get really upset after therapy sessions sometimes due to my PTSD and other problems being triggered. I told my therapist I needed to talk about something that I am interested in or makes me happy for the last 5 minutes of the session so I won't be too upset when I leave. Hope that helps.

I'd love to watch this and subscribe, but this audio is completely unlistenable for me. I hope you sort it out before you post any more videos, I think you have important things to say.

Hi William. I appreciate your feedback. I know the audio in this video is terrible and have taken steps to create better quality content, especially in my most recent videos. I would also like to rerecord most of my earlier content but it hasn't happened yet.

@@neurodivergentme I hope my comment did not come across too harshly. SPD is one of my spectrum traits, and I probably over reacted. We're all so hungry for good ASD information, and when there is some aspect of ASD (in this case the audio) that is actually thwarting the information... for some reason that really sets me off! I know it is a LOT of work to go back and redo things! Good luck moving forward!
