For those who don’t know, if burnout is “I’m so disillusioned by this job it’s starting to affect the rest of my life.”

Autistic burnout is that, but the “job” is neurotypical demands, masking, executive function—being perceived, essentially—to the point where existing is exhausting
Today in Hell Yes, Research!

Do you know what autistic burnout is? “Autistic adults described the primary characteristics of Autistic Burnout as chronic exhaustion, loss of skills, and reduced tolerance to stimulus.” Classic work by Dora Raymaker:

When friends come to me wondering if they might be autistic, they ask if they should get a diagnosis, usually believing a flood of resources will come their way if they do. Until autism research includes Black women and girls, I'll stay telling us to save that money for something useful 👇🏽
On the Strong Black Woman phenomenon being even more intense when Black women are also autistic, meaning "That let me mask, let me do everything I can to appear non-autistic so I can make it through this space." Dr. Jamie Pearson, interviewed at The Stoop:

And people ask me why I don’t seek a formal diagnosis. Now is not the time to get put on a list
The state of Texas was trying to get an autism indicator on the drivers license last year, and leaked internal messages showed they planned to use it as a pretext to strip us of mobility.
