The autistic experience of being asked 'How do you know you don't like it if you haven't tried it?' when you say that you won't like (and hence won't eat) something that looks like absolute textural hell or has something in it you know is textural hell. Shannon it's the TEXTURES it's always been the TEXTURES.

you are not a bad friend or partner if you need to withdraw and cancel plans.

there is nothing wrong with eating your same foods over and over again.

you're not lazy, demanding or too much if you need extra support during burnout

there is no time line on recovering from Autistic burnout, everyone needs a different amount of time to recover.

Image 8: It isn't the sole responsibility of Autistic and ADHD individuals to recover from burnout.

If burnout isn't caused by us but by our environment and society not accommodating our differences and needs, the responsibility of recovery shouldn't be on us alone either.

create a burnout recovery plan together with tips on supporting us

learn to recognise our signs of burnout and offer support before we reach our limit

Hi everyone,

I found an article about autism and sleep problems. As someone who suffers from insomnia, I found this interesting. According to this article:

A 2019 study, one of the largest to investigate the prevalence of sleep problems in autism, suggested that nearly 80 percent of autistic preschoolers have disrupted sleep. Sleep problems are twice as common among children with autism as they are among typical children or those with other developmental conditions.

I’ll leave the link here in case you all would like to read it in its entirety.
