Exactly. Or on current report cards.
This is most days for me, I usually meditate for a couple hours and then begin my day.
That would be super interesting. Im a fan of brain scans. Real time data for the win!
I feel you. Self identified at 53 last year. It’s a ride for sure. It takes time to metabolize all that backlog of denial and trauma and gaslighting and abuse and burnout. I *might* have hit bottom and be on my way up, uncertain. You’re not alone.
Been reading a few articles lately about burnout vs autistic burnout and … fuck. I thought I was just experiencing regular burnout as an autistic person.
I'd say I'm definitely experiencing that, but apparently autistic burnout is a whole other thing *on top of that*.

It is indeed. I’ve heard people say autistic burnout is a disability on top of the disability of being autistic. Regardless of the semantics, I experience it as an intensely challenging storm to surf. Hope you find some rest and recovery!
