Beyond Chronic Burnout: The Talk Show for Women & Their Helping Professionals

191 - Too Many Masks Cause Burnout in Autistic Women with Carole Jean Whittington


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you’re running on empty, constantly shifting who you are to fit into different situations? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the connection between masking and autistic burnout—why it happens, how it impacts autistic women, and the signs to watch for before burnout takes over.


I’ll share my own experience with burnout, the role of masking styles (especially the Integrator style), and practical ways to check in with yourself before reaching a crisis point. Plus, we’ll take a moment to slow down with a grounding meditation and simple self-care strategies to help you recover and recharge.


It’s time to unmask, recognize your needs, and start building a life that supports you—not one that drains you. Let’s get started.
