More #ActuallyAutistic humans live in Autistic Burnout than previously thought.

But it isn't a foregone conclusion that your entire life will be spent in Burnout. Even if it's been decades.

Important to remember that Burnout is caused and sustained by lack of connection to your autistic self and a denial of your autistic needs.

100% agree:
"Burnout is caused and sustained by lack of connection to your autistic self and a denial of your autistic needs."

My dad, I suspect autistic, hit burnout so hard, he did not survive more than 3 years after losing interest in pretending to be NT. He rarely spoke of his past, but he did say he was abused.He behaved like a working class human, (money > life). I never forgot the look of his delight when he teased me with misaligned objects.
