What is Autistic Burnout?

Autistic burnout is more than just being “tired.” It’s a state of deep exhaustion that happens when neurodivergent adults spend too long pushing past their limits. It can look like sensory overload, emotional shutdown, and difficulty managing daily life.

For many late-identified neurodivergent people, burnout shows up after years of masking or trying to keep up with expectations that don’t fit their brains. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward recovery.

How Glimmer Can Help

Glimmer is a small-group program created by and for neurodivergent adults navigating burnout. Through gentle structure, community support, and space to recharge, participants can start to rebuild energy and reconnect with themselves. The group offers strategies for sustainable coping, self-compassion, and honoring your neurodivergent needs, without judgment.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in survival mode, Glimmer is designed to help you find your way back to balance.

What to Expect from Glimmer

Glimmer is neuroinclusive and accessible:

  • Video is always optional
  • You are welcome to share vocally, via chat, reactions, or simply by being present
  • Captions will be on
  • Fidgeting and stimming are welcome and normal!
  • You are welcome to unmask as you feel safe to do so
The flow of Glimmer sessions loosely follow this format:
  • Welcome & Review of Collective Care Agreements (how we show up with and for each other in the space)*
  • Check ins (what’s your capacity? what do you need from the space today? what do you want to give to the space today? how are you arriving here today?)
  • Topic/discussion question & sharing about how you have experienced this particular challenge/ element of burnout, etc.
  • Closing with an invitation to share a glimmer from the past few days – something that has sparked your joy and/or something that you did to honor your limits that you want to celebrate!

Neurodivergent Burnout Checklist

Are you late-identified neurodivergent?

Many people discover their autism or ADHD later in life, which can mean years of masking and pushing through without support… leaving your body and mind deeply tired.

Does it feel like all your coping tools no longer work?

Strategies that once got you by might suddenly feel impossible when burnout sets in.

Is everything exhausting and overwhelming so the time?

Daily life can start to feel like walking through quicksand: even the smallest tasks demand energy you don’t have, and recovery feels out of reach.

Are you all out of spoons and have no more forks to give?

Being perpetually low on spoons, the “little things” pile up and make you feel like you don’t have much left to give.

You may be experiencing neurodivergent burnout!

A state of deep physical, emotional, and sensory exhaustion that’s common for autistic and ADHD adults. Welcome.
