#autistic burnout

Burnout is a jockey and he's riding me to death.

chronic fatigue from mental illness and neurodivergency isn't something you can just will your way out of. your nervous system is part of your body. your brain is an organ. the fatigue is real. you're not lazy. so be kinder to yourself. be gentler with your bodymind.

We’re inbetween hyper fixations so we’re kinda bored and sad all the time

Autistic meltdowns aren't synonymous with temper tantrums, by the way.

You're not autistic, you're just a little silly!

And you cry when people change things but that's unrelated-- :D

for the love of whatever you believe in please listen to disabled people. when i tell you that i can't do something it means that I CANT DO IT!!!!

"you can do so much more than you think" what if... and hear me out on this.. what if i actually know best about what i (me) (myself) (the person who you are talking about) knows best about my own abilities and what i can and cant do???? what a crazy thought huh???

in another life, i find out i am autistic at 12 instead of at 29. i am still bullied, but my parents put me in another school. i get the support i need. i find friends who love me for who i am. my mom and dad don’t yell. instead, they comfort me during my meltdowns. they support me. i grow up knowing who i am, what i am, and i learn how my body works instead of wondering why i can’t speak the language of everyone else around me despite having english as my native language.

Me: I am Fine and everything is Normal™

[a minor inconvenience occurs]

Me: Oh hang on, I guess my entire psyche is actually patched together with duct tape

Autistic burnout first hit me when I was in my early teens, but I had no idea what it was, so I wasn't able to properly recover from it. It got so bad that I had to drop out of school a few years later. If I hadn't left school I don't know if I ever could've recovered.

Autistic burnout is real, and it's bad. Please take it seriously.

Things that help me as someone who spends the majority of my life in bed and has done for over a year

Bed tent, keeps my teddies in, its pink so makes my life more happy, makes my bed a tiny bit quieter and my world a little smaller which means less overwhelm, has pocket for stuff and is just a nice thing to improve my quality of life

Bed tray, so can eat my food in bed without crumbs everywhere

Not a big duvet but a nice blanket so my bed has more room in for stuff/air

Many teddies which makes my life more happy

Pillows i rest on when i sit up and so i do not get too tired (but still quite tired after a bit)

Two pillows have katniss everdeen from hunger gams on, makes me happy

Blankets on the bottom of my bed not sheets, makes it a lot more comfortable and blankets have different patterns i find it makes me happy my bed looks nice to me

Charger extention so that i can charge all my devices from my bed and while in bed

Family coming to me to give me food instead of me going to get it and mum fills up my waterbottle and reminds me to drink

Online, couldn't access any other community than close family without it, very helpful, would have no friends without it

Cat flap on my door so my cat can come in and out, so i dont have to get up to let him in or out, and dont have to keep my door open because then it will be open and loud and light

Blackout certians (light sensitivity)

Bedside lamp for not too bright light

Mum tidies my room = takes away glasses and cups and old food etc
