    Welcome to episode 96. Today, we're diving deep into a crucial yet often misunderstood topic — autistic burnout. Drawing from my own personal experiences, this episode unpacks the emotional and physical toll of navigating a world not built for neurodivergent minds. We explore the vital need for extreme rest as a form of recovery, and the persistent self-doubt fuelled by societal pressures to "bounce back." Join me for an honest, insightful conversation about burnout, rest, and reclaiming compassion for ourselves. Let's dive in! In this episode: Understanding autistic burnout – How environments clash with neurodivergent needs and the exhaustion of constant adaptation. The importance of extreme rest – Why extreme rest is essential for healing, demanding a conscious choice to pause, reset, and prioritise well-being over daily responsibilities.

But the truth for a lot of us is that a new app isn't the answer to an easier life. In fact, pinning your hopes on an organisational tool may end up making you feel more stressed!
