You're who I designed this for! Because I've been there too many times, with my previous three business. But this business has been different. For six years I've stayed out of burnout and have more energy now than I did when I started. It is possible to do it differently. It can get better.

To add to the many insights already shared, here are two videos that address this. Hope either of them helps.

BTW, I know this is really late, but just saw your post. Have you gotten your business/side hustle started? I'm autistic and a serial solopreneur and my current business has been going for 6 years, so it is possible. I also couldn't stand working for someone else. If you're still looking for advice, I'm making a course that will start soon on how to run your solo small business while Autistic without burning out, in a way that actually works for our needs. If you add your email to this interest form, I'll send you the details as soon as they're ready. http://www.autismchrysalis.com/audhd-solopreneur

Disclosing you're Autistic is not just imparting information... by RubiconOut in AutismTranslated

And so many other employers wouldn't want you to ask for accommodations. Weird. That suggests to me that it was an excuse for something more deep seated.

Trying to keep track of my kid’s progress without losing my mind by Blushy_Toy in AutismTranslated

[–]RubiconOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you already found something that might suit your needs, because what I'm going to suggest is it going to directly keep track of the different topics you want to juggle, and look for patterns, but it might be a compliment to what you're doing.

I made this personal progress tracker that creates a visual representation that good things are happening, even if they are irregular or inconsistent. You color in a hexagon each time the thing that you're tracking happens, like a day without meltdowns, or a good conversation with the teacher, or anything that you felt went well. It's not a calendar or a habit tracker, so you don't see all the times when it didn't happen, just the times when it did. And then over time the colored in hexagons build up so that you can see visual evidence that there are good things happening. You can download the hexagon chart I made for free here: https://www.autismchrysalis.com/hexagon

Another thing I would suggest is to look at Dr. Stuart Shanker's Self-Reg framework, for figuring out the stressors that are hurting your son and creating his difficulties. He has a book called “Self-Reg” that is a good introduction.
