When are people gonna understand that autistic burnout doesn't require a day of rest, but a lifetime of accomodation in school and work. Like trust me, even if you gave me 3 months of rest, the burnout is still going to be there for as long as I force myself to do things I am not supposed to do.

Autistic burnout vs autistic regression

Autistic burnout has been described as a phenomenon that happens when you get burnt out. Leading to loss of skills, exhaustion, and extreme fatigue. But what’s it called when you aren’t burnt out. When you do lose skills but aren’t fatigued and didn’t mask that causes burnout?

It is often debated on if autism regression can happen in adults and teens. I would like to remind people that autism regression isn’t researched a lot, so forget about teens and adults.

Autism regression in teens and adults, also referred to as late regression, is referred to as the phenomenon that causes sudden decline in social, developmental, and language without any underlying cause.

Difference between the two? Burnout is caused by burnout. And does get better with accommodations, self care, and time. Regression isn’t really known to have a cause, and can only be fixed with professional help and time.

I know many of my friends who have gone through regression, yes, burnout and regression do have similar symptoms, however are very different. Stop saying regression isn’t real.

Please feel free to comment, correct me, etc.

I was undiagnosed with autism.

not because i’m not autistic, but because I can’t immigrate to a queer-safe country if i’m autistic.

I was talking to my therapist, who helped me get my diagnosis, about how I want to live somewhere safe for queer people, since the U.S. is becoming a little dangerous for trans people like me

“You aren’t allowed to immigrate there if you’re autistic, you know that?”

there was an awkward silence for a bit.

“they don’t accept autistic immigrants”

It’s insane to think that a country that received the FDR international disability award only accepts their own, and doesn’t see itself as a safe haven for ALL disabled people.

New Zealand is one of the safest places to live if you’re queer but if you want to go there you can’t be autistic.

So together we got rid of the diagnosis. And for my service dog letter, we’re changing it from autism to anxiety, because the things my dog will be doing are very similar to what anxiety PSDs do

but yea i’m pissed.

Someone could make a really cool post about how autism burnout is affected by chronic illness. And by someone, I mean me.

Just consider it. Autism burnout occurs when an autistic person is overworked by the demand of living--as opposed to occupational burnout, or "alot of things keep happening all at once" burnout. And the demand of living is so much higher when you're chronically ill, disabled, and/or in chronic pain.

Self care now has a barrier of being in physical pain. Keeping your livingspace clean so it's not sensory hell is impossible when you can't even bend down. Being in constant physical pain just wears on the body, mind, and emotions in general, meaning even a "sensory good day" still merits the demand for noise cancelling headphones and sunglasses indoors.

Appointments are sensory hell. Offices are always brightly lit, cold, the chairs are uncomfy, and you have to be there and sit still and mask for so fucking long. Not to mention all the physical touch you have to endure. Oh, and the DEMAND AVOIDANCE of it all. I could kill god over giving his most autistic soldiers a chronic illness, because having a chronic condition is just Demands Central, babey.

And keep in mind this is still my life post-accomodation. I wear headphones and sunglasses, I use a shower chair and cane, I block out recovery days after appointments to help recharge. But there's just So Fucking Much that happens as a baseline to being chronically ill that just doesn't happen irl for everybody. Accommodation doesn't stop the meltdowns. It doesn't fix things.

#chronic illness #chronic pain #chronic fatigue #chronically ill #disabled #i could also go into how my medical physical pain compares to autistic physical pain--#think of 'when i repress a stim it physically hurts'kinda deal #but this post is long enough #autism #actually autistic #autism burnout #chronic illness burnout

sometimes you are a tired blob. and that's okay.

it's okay to be tired.

it's okay to be fatigued.

it's okay to rest.

it's okay to sleep.

it's okay to soothe.

it's okay. it's okay.

our brain makes it hard for us to feel these things are okay. others must feel this way too. you're not alone. it's okay. - The Dreamdrop System

Hi!

I decided to start this blog because I wanted somewhere to put my thoughts.

As of three days ago, I have officially been on sick leave from uni and my job because of (ADHD/Autistic) burnout. It feels weird and I feel incredibly guilty but I haven't felt awake in years. So now I'm in this weird state where I try to figure out what I'm capable of and what is actually taking up spoons. For now, my task is to figure out how I can minimize the amount of decision-making in my morning routine to make it less taxing and exhausting.

I'm curious to see how it goes.

Thank you for reading, you are doing great!

Y’all know autism regression is different from burnout. Right? Right? Cause like…y’all should know that.

#true regression is RARE. usually comes hand in hand with autism catatonia which is rare. keep that in mind.#autism regression #autism catatonia #burnout #autism burnout #autism #actually autism #actually autistic

I recently decided that I would try my best to stop masking my autism symptoms only to realize that I've been masking for so long that I don't know how to stop. I don't even have a concept of who I am or how I act when not masking, and the worst part is, is that it's so exhausting, I feel like I'm hemorrhaging energy and I can't make it stop.
