Are you stuck in burnout-mode, constantly wondering if you’re doing too much or not enough?
This episode dives into the messy truth of self-growth for late-diagnosed autistic adults—where resting too much feels like failure, but pushing too hard just leads to another crash. If you've ever questioned whether you're making excuses or respecting your limits, you're not alone.
In this episode, Matt unpacks:
The hidden dangers of both over-catering and over-challenging
How burnout warps your sense of what’s possible
The difference between self-care and self-abandonment
Three key questions to check in with yourself before saying yes, no, or not yet
This isn't about toxic productivity or hiding under a blanket forever (even if the blanket is weighted and magical). It's about learning to calibrate—compassionately, intentionally, and in a way that actually works for you.
Whether you're in burnout recovery, learning to set boundaries, or just tired of feeling stuck between guilt and exhaustion, this episode will help you find your footing.
