Self-attunement is an essential skill for recovering from autistic burnout.

One really important tool during autistic burnout recovery is 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚. Being able to respond to yourself with compassion. Even when things go wrong, even when you make poor choices, even when you make reasonable choices and it all goes kablooey. #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticBurnout #BurnoutRecovery #Burnout

For Autistics in autistic burnout, recovery requires 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨, not more pushing through. That would perpetuate the cycle into another burnout. But it is entirely possible to learn new skills even when it feels like you aren't able to right now. 1/2 #AutisticBurnout #BurnoutRecovery #Burnout #ActuallyAutistic

Another invaluable skill to fully recover from autistic burnout is 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. You can develop the skill of attuning to what your internal state is in the moment, of what your needs are, what your emotions are, what your desires are. Because you can't go towards something that you want if you don't know what it is you want. #AutisticBurnout #BurnoutRecovery #Burnout #ActuallyAutistic

𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is another skill that is necessary for recovering from autistic burnout. In my workshops and courses, I give frameworks, and share the method, but the 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨 are going to be different for all of us. Because we’re different people: my personality is different, my background is different, my race is different, my gender expression is different, my environment is different, the people I’m with are different. 1/3 #AutisticBurnout #BurnoutRecovery #Burnout #ActuallyAutistic
