Engaging with a favorite topic in a mild hyper focus is a nice relief from burnout.

Them: “What’s this mental health crisis all about? Why are suicide rates the way they are?”
Me: “One factor is the vast unidentified Autistic population that is at a >9x higher risk of death by suicide at a minimum!”
Also them: “You don’t look Autistic. Probably a bunch of dramatic lazy fucks.”

I find this so curious in human behavior. So something comes up in a topic I know inside and out and professionally (as in, I have formal education and experience). The other person says something wildly inaccurate, or dangerous, and because this is a professional area I speak up with facts/info.

It took me 4 years to recover from #AutisticBurnout and CFS. At the 2-year mark I got better and went back to living my life exactly as I had done before - thinking I was cured and knew it all. I quickly relapsed and had two more years of (un)learning and processing before I was genuinely well again

Experiencing autistic burnout is a good demo of how disabling autism can be. And it's, in my case, mostly solvable problems if society was accommodating of our internal wiring.

Just when the autism community is finally beginning to break through the misinformation and stigma, this asshat comes along.
RFK’s elevation is going to be such a disaster for the autism community. Divisive. Fraudulent. Abusive. Ignorant. Dehumanizing.
