@newtsoda I was diagnosed a few years ago so I didn't know that it was burnout I was suffering from, but it was, and it was on a repeating cycle and it became really damaging. Having terminology for it helped so much, but I lost friends and jobs due to these sometimes very disastrous burnout episodes. After diagnosis and weekly therapy I feel better able to cope, but the threat of a full scale burnout episode is always there as it is exhausting to exist in this neurotypical world. The other thing to add to the awareness is the sometimes permanent loss of skills that repeated or extreme burnout can cause. There are things that I still cannot do or have to fight through anxiety / brain fog to try and do.
