Autistic burnout vs autistic regression

Autistic burnout has been described as a phenomenon that happens when you get burnt out. Leading to loss of skills, exhaustion, and extreme fatigue. But what’s it called when you aren’t burnt out. When you do lose skills but aren’t fatigued and didn’t mask that causes burnout?

It is often debated on if autism regression can happen in adults and teens. I would like to remind people that autism regression isn’t researched a lot, so forget about teens and adults.

Autism regression in teens and adults, also referred to as late regression, is referred to as the phenomenon that causes sudden decline in social, developmental, and language without any underlying cause.

Difference between the two? Burnout is caused by burnout. And does get better with accommodations, self care, and time. Regression isn’t really known to have a cause, and can only be fixed with professional help and time.

I know many of my friends who have gone through regression, yes, burnout and regression do have similar symptoms, however are very different. Stop saying regression isn’t real.

Please feel free to comment, correct me, etc.

Happy disability pride month to everyone who feels like they shouldn’t be in public. To the people who get stared at, the people who startle others, the people who get treated like a monster or some sort of freak. The people whose disabilities are big and loud and obvious. The people who feel like they are an inconvenience, that they take up too much space, that their existence is too much or something to be censored, the people who feel like they have to warn others and the people who avoid others altogether. You’re not alone. You’re not too much. You are normal and you are loveable. You do not traumatize people or ruin their day. You deserve to exist just as you are.

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

but it COULDVE been worse tho 💀💀

I AM SPEAKING ON MY OWN EXPERIENCES, YALL STILL DESERVE KINDNESS AND LOVE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED /SRS

Even if it technically “could have been worse”, you still deserved better. Please don’t forget that.

Young people can have back pain. Young people can have joint pain. Young people can require a cane to get around. Young people can have memory problems. Young people can get migraines. Young people can lose their eyesight. Young people can lose their hearing. Young people can lose their teeth and require dentures. Young people can have neurological disorders. Young people can go through menopause. Young people can have heart attacks. Young people can have strokes. Young people can go through all kinds of things you think only happens to older people and they don’t deserve to be invalidated or bullied just because you have never heard of it.

While it's true that for some people, (certain) stims are an easy way to observe distress, I think there needs to be more awareness in allistic people that a lot of autistic people just stim for the sake of it, simply because were understimulated and / or we just dont control our bodies movements.

I've been repeatedly asked if I'm fine by so called mental health professionals for rocking etc, who know I'm autistic. The immediate assumption is this is a sign of distress instead of my natural body language / movement. Less assuming, when you know someone and their stims well you might be able to tell that x stim means x emotion or situation, but for the rest of us, just maybe, dont? It's also just a bunch of stigma surrounding certain stims, because if I had been tapping my fingers etc i wouldn't have been assumed in distress. It's not my fault my body likes to rock.
