"We heard some very powerful and emotional stories. Thank you for sharing. It was powerful how people could relate their foundations into what we were saying and how they could see how it relates to their lives and some of their experiences" @samprowse20.bsky.social
Great discussion at @learningdiseng.bsky.social conference today and thanks to those who shared their experiences of hospital with us. Lots of similarities with the Making Positive Moves findings.

Autistic burnout is extreme long-term exhaustion and overwhelm triggered over time, where the stress of coping with life’s demands exceeds the autistic person’s ability to cope. They may lose the ability to carry out everyday tasks, lose skills they usually have and increased sensory difficulties.
