Autistic burnout

A state of intense exhaustion and loss of skills experienced by individuals with autism, often due to prolonged stress and the need to mask autistic traits. This condition is characterized by overwhelming fatigue, reduced ability to function, and a significant decrease in the ability to manage daily tasks, necessitating recognition and support for recovery. Autistic burnout primarily affects individuals on the autism spectrum who face continuous stressors and demands to conform to neurotypical standards.
