Don your snorkels and prepare those ice baths because we’re about to plunge into the frigid waters of autistic burnout and we promise the payoff will be worth the pain. 

In an episode that wasn’t designed to hurt your feelings but still might, Grace is leading the way through the autism burnout symptom checklist, explaining how a shrinking window of tolerance results in faster dysregulation, and attempting to (lovingly) bully you into resting and healing your nervous system. 

If you’ve forced yourself to push through discomfort for so long that now you couldn’t be bothered to dig your own grave even if you wanted to, come join us for an eye-opening look into burnout that will have you quitting your job and moving into the woods in no time.
