Autistic Burnout 🔥
@autisticburnout.bsky.social
About autism & autistic burnout. With a sidecar of major depression, all layered on life long dysthymia.

Hopeful for recovery! But for now i'll just post how things are (n=1 ofc), and what I'm learning along the way.

Thank you! I don't use this acct much, but in my non-anon acct I podcast/youtube/write about autistic and mental health experiences in a specific creative community :)

Nailed it. And when it's gone and we get laid off or quit, always labeled as the problem and ghosted as a good riddance. Any big wins we implemented for years shadowed by the demise.

Have always said my RSD and (hand in hand) PDA has been the leading causes of long term passive ideation.

💯 - i have deleted so many. being perceived and not knowing how, void of online or not being able to read cues in person, has always been an issue.

I think i just need to mostly adhere to my rule of not engaging in the first place (online) and only do like what you mention with people i know really well. which is few enough it will be rare!

Yes!!! In person is so much better/easier perhaps. It was so funny with my mom - she wouldn't "believe" when I'd talk about data and studies etc but as soon as i bought her some books she was fully convinced by the men who wrote them (same source 😂) - worked eventually!

Audhd and yes. Like… this account, and some other huge non-anonymous projects I’ve struggled to build/maintain - with pauses - during this. Perhaps some bitter or frustration but mostly want to help others avoid this and the exploitation that comes with it.
