Welcome back! In this episode, Heather & Kerissa kick off season 2 of the podcast discussing the topic of autistic burnout. They define autistic burnout as a syndrome resulting from chronic life stress and a mismatch of expectations and abilities without adequate support. They explore the common characteristics of autistic burnout, such as difficulty with executive functioning, increased intensity of autistic traits, chronic exhaustion, reduced tolerance to stress, confusion, and social withdrawal.
They also discuss the causes of autistic burnout, including the energy expended by autistic individuals to exist in a neurotypical world. They emphasize the importance of supporting individuals in autistic burnout by encouraging rest and providing accommodations. They also highlight the need for open communication and understanding within relationships and families. All while sharing from their personal experiences.
Join Heather & Kerissa as they share from an authentic & real life perspective with in-depth conversations around neurodiversity, PDA autism profile, and the autistic experience. This on occasion includes sensitive and difficult topics. (Topics include but not limited to; mental health crisis, depression, anxiety, burnout, trauma, and suicidal ideation.) All listeners need to be aware of their own emotional wellbeing and ability to engage in such topics.
We offer connection, community & co-regulation. (And a few laughs!)
