i’ve been dealing with this a lot as a grad student. it’s helped me to recognize that a lot of this feeling is somewhat of the internalized ableism that i grew up with so i’d forced myself to mask and endure. it’s just not sustainable now bc i’ve fully overworked those coping mechanisms by now. you still have a life; you’ve just got to learn what it means to you. ❤️ read some books like “Miracle of Mindfulness” by Thich Nhat Hanh. it’s not intended for autistic burnout, but it might still help.
