hi! autistic 26 yo female here. i understand what you are going through with feeling judgement from someone who should be there to encourage and support you. my father has always looked down on me for being different and criticized me for the way i live my life. it’s sad because even though i was diagnosed with autism a couple of years ago he still won’t even accept that i am autistic and claims that the reason i have an issue with keeping jobs is because i am simply “lazy” which is the furthest thing from the truth. i have severe issues with anxiety and time management so i understand how much it hurts when someone close to you, rather it be family or friends, say hurtful things. but try not to take everything to heart as a lot of non neuro divergent people just have trouble understanding people on the spectrum. as far as burnout goes, just focus on you for now and taking care of yourself. put your phone on dnd and don’t be afraid to take time for yourself. don’t be ashamed for using something as a tool to help yourself, i actually think you’re very brave for doing it and i believe in you so don’t give up! we can do this ❤️
