Description

One consistent aspect of living as a neurodivergent is burnout. Whether it's ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma exposure, or literally any other brain difference, we're all burnout from, I suspect, a younger age than most neurotypicals.

But as with workplace/professional burnout, I think there's more than "just burnout" going on; so let's talk about it.

TOPICS COVERED:

Defining neurodivergent burnout

Parallels to workplace burnout

Sources of societal trauma

Introduction into deconstructing ableism
