Understanding Autistic Burnout
Autistic burnout is experienced by as many as 80% of autistic and other neurodivergent people and yet many professionals working with autistic people, often do not understand or recognise it. This leads to autistic young people and adults being misdiagnosed, being given the wrong advice and support or no support whatsoever. Autistic burnout can lead to extreme crisis, with the individual trying to cope with no resources, no energy and their mental health floundering. The consequences can be extremely serious and sadly sometimes devastating.

My child/teen has been identified as Autistic: A book for parents or anyone wanting to understand Autism
When your child or teenager is identified as Autistic or gets a diagnosis, it can be hard to know where to go to get the best information and advice.

I believe that the best advice about being Autistic should come from Autistic people themselves; so that is why I have written down all the things I know parents will find helpful (and anyone else wanting to understand Autism).
