How to actually recover from autistic burnout

JUN 20, 202645 MIN

Description

<p>This episode is about neurodivergent burnout: what it actually is underneath the "I'm just tired" framing, what it's felt like in my body recently (fatigue that doesn't lift, small tasks turning into walls, sensory and social tolerance disappearing almost entirely), and the window of tolerance, the idea that burnout isn't one flat state but a constant swing between shutdown and meltdown, rarely landing anywhere near regulated.</p><br><p>I also get into why the standard advice for burnout doesn't work for a neurodivergent nervous system, and Low Power Mode: the nine things that are actually helping me recover right now, not the polished version, the honest one.</p><br><p>If you've ever cancelled plans you really wanted to go to, gone quiet on the people who love you, or sat with a kind message for a week because you couldn't bring yourself to reply, this episode is for you.</p><br><p>I haven't written the Substack companion post for this episode yet. </p><p>When I do, it'll be added here: https://tylagrant.substack.com/</p><br><p>📺 Watch on YouTube: [https://youtu.be/olwKVldRs2w]</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
