And that was a pretty big aha moment for me because I've always struggled with depression and fatigue.

And I was able to look back at my history and see how a lot of the depressive episodes I've had started with autistic burnout.

So this became one of the first really big theories or ideas I started working on in the work I did with Neurodivergent Insights.

The first digital workbook I ever made was an autistic burnout workbook.

It was terrible.

It was terribly designed.

I'm so sorry for people who bought the early version.

But that was the very first digital resource that I ever created and put out for sale.

And then most recently was Simon & Schuster.

We've published the Autistic Burnout Workbook, which is really kind of a compilation of the last four years of my work.

And synthesizing a lot of the things I've learned about what helps build a life that is a little bit more resilient to burnout.

I don't want to say it cures burnout.

I think that would be a oversimplification of how complex

Yeah, so this is where I really lean on Dora Raymaker's research that they did with their research team back in 2020 or 2021.

Let me zoom out first.

The clinical world is finally talking about burnout, general burnout, not autistic burnout.

And when we think about burnout, we're really talking about burnout of the nervous system.

So first of all, I think that's a helpful framework.

And any human can experience that.

And I think especially right now, post-pandemic, a lot of folks are in some form of burnout.
