Autistic Burnout Workbook

About this workbook

Autistic burnout is a state of intense physical, mental and emotional exhaustion caused by long-term masking, sensory overload and the effort of navigating a world that isn't built for neurodivergent minds. This 42-page workbook gives you the language, the framework and the gentle tools to understand what you're going through and chart a way forward.

• Boundary scripts for work, family and friends
• A "permission slip" library you can print and keep nearby

Who it's for

Autistic adults and teens (14+), parents and carers, therapists, SENCOs and educators supporting neurodivergent young people.
