I believe that I am experiencing burnout. I'm not sure if it's autistic burnout specifically, but I'm sure that's influenced it. I feel like burnout is often framed from the perspective of a person's job, but I really don't think I'm burnt out from work. I'm very lucky to have a job that I love that is also very aligned with my special interest. If anything, my job energizes me. I do feel burnt out from the demands of everyday life, like cleaning, cooking, just waking up every day and having to do things. I feel a little dumb because it's really just the mundane demands of everyday life that are getting to me, not anything major. Has anyone else felt this way, and what helped you?
