Autistic burnout is a condition that affects people with autism. It happens when someone is overwhelmed and exhausted from trying to fit into a world that is not designed for them. This can be due to trying to keep up with social norms, hiding their autism, or constantly being in situations that are difficult for them. People with autistic burnout may feel tired, irritable, and sad all the time and may have trouble sleeping, eating, or enjoying activities they used to love.
