Neurodivergent Burnout, often referred to as Autism or ADHD burnout, is really hard to go through and is not easy to recognize for more neurospicy folks.

🪧 Signs of Burnout to look out for are over-exhaustion, feeling a bit clumsier, more forgetful, masking more, trouble finishing tasks, feeling even more distant than usual and having more meltdowns and shutdowns.

👋🏽 Causes of Burnout to recognize are being overworked, sensory overstimulation, not taking breaks, too much to do, life transitions or changes, and being overwhelmed with emotions.

❓How to Handle Burnout is to give yourself more self-compassion, try not to mask as often, let yourself relax and enjoy your interests, set boundaries to let yourself recharge, and ask for help when you need it.

Hey there! Let’s talk about some simple ways to find more calm and peace in your day—especially if your brain is extra spicy with ADHD or neurodiversity. Honestly, even the most chill therapists at Kindred Hope sometimes find themselves stuck on chores or tasks—that’s just part of being human!

Here are a few easy tips you probably already know, but it’s always helpful to hear them again:

🚫 Saying “No” Can Be Hard, But It’s So Worth It: We tend to say yes to everything, especially when we’re stressed, because we want to please others. Start small—practice saying no in less stressful situations. Thank the person for asking, but let them know you’re busy or ask if the task is really necessary right now. It gets easier with practice!

💭 Stop Overthinking: If your mind keeps racing, try saying “Stop” or “Cancel” out loud or in your head when you start spiraling. Then, remind yourself what you’re actually doing, or get moving—hum, dance, or do something fun to reset your thoughts.

🫟 Declutter in Baby Steps: Acknowledge that clutter is there, then pick one small thing to organize first—maybe a side table or a drawer. Take your time, and don’t forget to celebrate what you finish! Writing your wins down can boost your confidence, too.

⏸️ Take a 6-Second Breather: Feeling overwhelmed? Try listing six random things—like towns or fruits. Once done, respond to the situation calmly instead of reacting impulsively.

🤔 Know Yourself Best: Pay attention to what works for you—your strengths, your favorite activities. Trust in what you already know and what you’re good at. You’ve got a toolkit of skills and strategies; just remember to use them!

We know maintaining these habits can be tough, and setbacks are totally okay. Checking in with someone—whether it’s a friend, family member, therapist, or even yourself—makes a big difference. Be open to trying new things like mindfulness, habit tweaks, or new goals. You’ve got this!

🤔 Know Yourself Best: Pay attention to what works for you—your strengths, your favourite activities. Trust in what you already know and what you’re good at. You’ve got a toolkit of skills and strategies; just remember to use them!

The holidays are often filled with acts of kindness for others, baking cookies, writing cards, and giving gifts. But what if we included ourselves on the list?

When we practice self-compassion and treat ourselves with goodwill, we cultivate the emotional resources to give more meaningfully to those we care about.
