Burnout doesn’t always shout—it whispers, hides, and sometimes even convinces us that what we’re feeling is just how life is. If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been navigating exhaustion for longer than you care to admit.

As autistic women, we’re often pros at masking, adapting, and pushing through. We’ve heard the world’s messages loud and clear: "You’re overreacting," "It’s not that bad," "Just toughen up." So we do. We mask, we adjust, and we keep going—until we can’t.

But here’s the thing: burnout doesn’t have to be your forever.

What Burnout Can Look Like

Burnout for autistic women doesn’t always match the stereotypical picture of stress. It might not look like falling apart at work or openly venting frustration. Instead, it’s often internal—a quiet unraveling that’s hard for others (and sometimes ourselves) to notice.

You might feel a growing disconnection from things you used to enjoy or notice a sudden spike in sensory overwhelm—things that never bothered you before now feel unbearable. Maybe you’re emotionally all over the place one day and completely numb the next.

Sound familiar? These aren’t just quirks—they’re your mind and body waving red flags.

The Emotional Toll

Burnout doesn’t just drain your energy; it makes you question yourself. Thoughts like, “Why can’t I handle this? What’s wrong with me?” become all too common. This emotional exhaustion often fuels anxiety, depression, and a nagging sense that you’ll never be "good enough."

Let me be the first to tell you: it’s not you. It’s the system you’ve been trying to navigate—and there’s a way out.

Masking: The Silent Culprit

If you’ve spent years masking—hiding your authentic self to fit in or feel safe—you’re not alone. It’s a skill we’ve honed for survival. But masking is exhausting, and over time, it can take a toll on your identity and energy reserves.

When we mask, we’re not just hiding who we are; we’re ignoring our needs. That’s why one of the biggest steps toward healing is learning to take the mask off, even if it’s just in the quiet safety of your own space.

Steps Toward Healing

Healing from burnout isn’t about fixing yourself—you were never broken. It’s about creating a life that supports you as you are.

• Recognize where you are: Take stock of your exhaustion, your needs, and your boundaries.
• Find your community: You’re not alone in this, and connecting with others who get it can be transformative.
• Learn to listen to yourself: Start small—what feels good? What doesn’t? Give yourself permission to honor those answers without guilt.
• Let go of the mask: Bit by bit, begin to explore your authentic self.
