Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Laney! I don’t think this post came off as a bummer, but rather explanatory and I’m really glad to have learned a bit about autistic burnout.

Wow, thank you!! This was a hard one to put out there because it felt really raw and vulnerable, so this kind of feedback really means a lot!! I’m working to be a bit more honest with myself and others about my needs/struggles in daily life and writing about it on Substack is genuinely helping me with that
