Autistic burnout is a common experience in the neurodivergent community

For neurodivergent professionals ONLY who have a good understanding of autistic burnout

The Autistic Burnout Network recognises and embraces the importance of understanding intersectionality and the fact that neurodivergent people are more likely to be multiply marginalised. This includes race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, age, disability and religion etc.

We embrace neurodivergent affirming, LGBTQIA affirming and trauma informed practices.

We reject all behavioural approaches (including ABA and PBS), because these can harm autistic people.

The Autistic Burnout Network & Our Aims

The Autistic Burnout Network

The Autistic Burnout Network is a group of neurodivergent professionals, including: neurodivergent doctors, therapists, mental health professionals, advocates, teachers and authors, all with a passion for helping other professionals without lived experience, understand autistic and other neurodivergent burnout.

The aim for this network is to promote the understanding of neurodivergent burnout and to create a place where professionals working with autistic and other neurodivergent people can come for the information, education and training they need to understand and recognise autistic and other neurodivergent burnout and learn how to best support neurodivergent individuals.

It made me realise how bad my burnout is and that I can't stretch capacity so I need to ease up on myself.
