Aimed at autistic young people, pre-teens and teens, this book guides autistic young people through recognising, understanding and recovering from autistic burnout. Importantly the book emphasises that autistic burnout is a result of the demands the world places on us and that its is is not our fault.
Have you ever felt like you can no longer face the day, can no longer put one foot in front of the other, can no longer get out of bed and get dressed, brush your teeth and leave the house? Your clothes feel 'too much', your brother chewing his cereal makes you want to explode or the busyness of the streets on the way to school suddenly feel stifling and claustrophobic.
Typically, people have the odd day like this, but being autistic means the world takes its toll on us in ways that so many others do not see or understand.
Sometimes those days, lead to weeks, lead to months..... if this is you or a loved one you could be facing autistic burnout
