From the opening chapter

Autistic burnout is a profound state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion, often accompanied by a loss of skills and heightened sensory sensitivity. Distinguishing autistic burnout from occupational burnout is crucial, as the latter is typically linked to work-related stress and characterised by feelings of cynicism, inefficacy, and detachment. While occupational burnout is frequently discussed in workplace contexts, autistic burnout is a unique phenomenon primarily affecting individuals on the autism spectrum. It is not simply the result of overwork but stems from the ongoing effort to navigate a world that can feel overwhelming and unaccommodating. Imagine the challenge of operating in an environment that constantly bombards you with intricate social cues, sensory overload, and the pressure to conform to neurotypical standards. For autistic individuals, this is often the everyday reality. Autistic burnout arises when the cumulative effect of these demands exceeds their capacity to cope.
