UPDATED EPISODE- In this episode I will give you the top 4 Mistakes most people make when they are trying to get out of Burnout. I experienced my first autistic burnout at the age of six. This may seem young, however through my research after speaking with thousands of other late identified autistics, this is not very unusual or uncommon. For the next 40 years I was in some degree of burnout and even thought I had fully recovered a time or two but I had only fallen into the Restoration Illusion Trap. When I finally hit the rock bottom of a level 5 Ghost Pepper Burnout and decided enough was enough I had no idea how to do it or what was actually possible. Join me today to learn the top Burnout Restoration mistakes and what the possibilities for thriving can be for you. We each have a unique dream and expectations for our lives and yours will be unique to you.

Have you ever thought…”I don't know who I am.” That is one of the questions many of us ask ourselves in late identified life one of the other thoughts that often come up is “if I don't do this I will fail.” Join me with my wonderful friend and guest today, Benjamin Christmass as we discuss these thoughts along with his glorious idea of “The Germination of Obligation.” How does obligation show up and where do we start the road to autonomy?

What reasonable adjustments can you get in the workplace? Why do we have a Deficit Model? How can you advocate for your needs? Carrin M. Gilmore (@letstalkaboutautism) is an Autism advocate offering Advocacy Accommodations sessions and support for parents and their children in developing IEP (Individual Education Plans). Working closely with Carole Whittington at Mind Your Autistic Brain, Carrin and the team seeks to bring greater inclusivity in the workplace, help neurodivergent couples connect on a deeper level and support neurodivergent individuals in their unmasking journey. Carrin's Links - https://linktr.ee/CarrinMWAut // My Links - https://linktr.ee/thomashenleyUK Originally an English teacher, Carrin seeks to bridge the gap between deficit models in the workplace and person-centred models in education. They talk about the various accommodations one can expect in the workplace, one of which is being fired (yes... you read that right, it's actual advice for workplaces!). Thomas and Carrin paint a picture of the individuals who deal with the hand they are dealt in the workplace, highlighting the daily issues with energy, sanity and time management that could be avoided with accommodations. The system works using a Deficit Model, rather than a Strength-Based Model, providing cookie-cutter, blanket solutions for each and every individual - but needs are a spectrum. Thomas raises the common charity-based thinking around employing Autistic people, with both offering their takes on the benefits these individuals have for businesses... beyond 'charity'. Carrin lists some common adjustments: Work coaches, giving adequate processing time, clear and concise language, lists/bullet point instructions and CLEAR lines of communication for certain issues. However, these are NOT mandatory and even if they are met, positive adjustments offered the clearest path for Thomas' long-term employment success. At the end of the day, the employment rates for autistic people are depressing at least, but there are gems out there who are willing to go the extra mile for their employees who are willing to work with them cooperatively and with the understanding that support is a two-way street.

In this episode, we talk with Carole Jean Whittington, host of the Mind Your Autistic Brain podcast. We talk about saying “I'm sorry” too much; social capital and how it's spent, the de-escalation protocol of being brief, informative, firm, and friendly, feeling like we need permission to be authentic, and 200 hamster wheels.

Join us today for a conversation about accommodations that help Mordi when performing in large venues like the arenas he played this summer with his band, Man-Ja. Man-Ja includes several autistic musicians and you can listen to their latest songs on Spotify and YouTube at The Autistic Guitarist. He wrote his newest single, Full of Emptiness, to explain to his wife, who is neurotypical, how he feels when he is overwhelmed. I think so many of us can deeply relate to his lyrics.

It happens often in late identified life, you share you are autistic with someone and they reply, “But you don't look autistic.” This is what sparked my campaign last year #WhatAutismActuallyLooksLike #WhatAutismLooksLike to share that autism is part of adult life not just childhood. We had so many submissions for the video and it has been shared all over the globe and across social media platforms. AND it is making a difference!!! If you haven't seen it yet, check it out on my YouTube Channel, Mind Your Autistic Brain in the playlist, What Autism Looks Like. This year the What Autism Actually Looks like campaign theme is: Autism in the Workforce. I am leading the #NeurodistinctWorkforceMovement and the best way to begin shifting the broken narrative that we are only good at math or only work in Tech or IT is to showcase where we ACTUALLY are working. The adult autistic population is grossly unemployed and underemployed not because we lack the skills or abilities, but because the workforce has not yet begun to truly understand the gift that our neurotype is to not just the workforce but to humanity. Let's share who we are and what we do to make the workforce a place FOR US. It takes all of our voices to make a change. How & What to submit: Between March 1st and March 18th send in a photo of you working in your profession, this could be you at your desk, working with clients, or if you are in school for a profession right now share that as well. OR you can include a short video clip no more than 20 seconds in length showing what you do. Include the statement in your video, “I am autistic and I am a/work in (insert what your profession or field of industry here)” End with the phrase, “We are Autistic” Check out last year's video for ideas. DEADLINE to submit is midnight Eastern US Time Friday, March 18th. Send your submission to: CaroleJeanW(at)SocialAutie(dot com) with the SUBJECT Line: I Am Autistic. If you want a tee shirt like the one I am wearing from the Autastic Shop and wear your shirt in April when the campaign goes live with the new video.

We learned SO much during this episode with Carole Jean Whittington who is "The Social Autie' on social media. Carole Jean received an ADHD diagnosis in early adulthood, but wasn't diagnosed as autistic until she was 39. Her "neurodistinct" journey has led her to help so many other late diagnosed autistic adults go from burnout to balance. Carole Jean's honesty and vulnerability provided us with so many lessons on how to be better romantic partners in a neurodiverse relationship, as well as how to create space for understanding and grace when we really don't understand ourselves or our partners, but want to. Carole Jean is a gift to the neurodiverse/neurodistinct community and it was such a pleasure learning from her and learning a little bit about the challenges she has experienced and grown and healed from, and the many strengths she has in her current relationship with her partner Josh:-) For more information on Carole Jean and the amazing work she is doing to help other late diagnosed adults thrive, please check her out on Instagram @socialautie and check out her podcast "Mind Your Autistic Brain". ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you are interested in learning more about neurodiverse relationships please check out our website at: www.neurodiverselove.com or follow us on Instagram @neurodiverse_love If you would like to join our Neurodiverse Love Peer Support Groups please send us a DM on Instagram or an e-mail at: neurodiverselove4u@gmail.com Thank you for being a part of the Neurodiverse Love community.

Meet my amazing friend Joe Cox.

Joe Cox is the creator and host of the Joe Cox Autism Vlogger Channel on YouTube where he shares weekly insights into what autism is to him in 5 minutes or less.

Join the Art of Grateful Leadership Podcast series host Judith W. Umlas as the “conversational tables get turned”… on her! Tune in as she is interviewed by Carole Jean Whittington, host of her own podcast series on her website, “Mind Your Autistic Brain, THE Place for Late Identified Autistics.” Judy and Carole Jean have a truly fascinating, empowering and intimate conversation as part of November as the month of Gratitude. They discuss, for example, why people on the autism spectrum have such a challenging time accepting acknowledgment, but are usually great at giving it. Get a sense of why large companies such as Google and Red Hat are specifically recruiting people on the spectrum, in order to make use of their special talents and skills.

My Autistic and Trauma induced response to this question was HECK YES for decades. I find myself in a very different place today and I will share some of the why along with some insights into why we do what we do in the structure of the Mind Your Autistic Brain community.

I invited our Mind Your Autistic Brain community to send in their questions about burnout and I hosted a very casual zoom to answer them. We ended up with 13 questions in this episode and I hope it is as helpful to you as it was to the group. The poll results showed that the majority weren't sure if they were in burnout at the beginning of the webinar and wanted to learn more and when I asked at the end if those who answered they weren't sure now had clarity the results were very clear, yes burnout was definitely on the radar now.

Without a doubt this is one of the hottest conversations in the autistic community and the reactions, the fears, the confusion on telling other people that you are autistic is regularly discussed. I asked the Mind Your Autistic Brain community to share who they told first and then a poll asking which of 6 questions was their biggest fear or concern on the hot topic of sharing your identity. The results are in and the #1 response for who people told FIRST and the #1 fear or concern will be an eye opener. Join me as I share what I've learned over the past 7 years about sharing I am autistic. It isn't telling your family first...well maybe.
