My Autistic Burnout: The World Too Full To Talk Origin Story
I’ve always wanted to embrace the strengths of being autistic, but the world has made it hard. I’ve struggled with autistic burnout since adolescence. I’ve also used creative expression for my entire life as a joyful way to cope. This site is both a way for me to continue to recover and build a sustainable livelihood, and a way to share what I’ve learned with others who have the same struggles.

World Too Full To Talk Community
I’ve struggled for years to find sustainable ways for my highly sensitive body to thrive in this harsh, neurotypical world. I’m ready to share what I’ve learned and connect with others who have similar experiences. If you’re like me, information doesn’t sink in until you can apply it. Each educational resource I share comes with an activity or a creative prompt you can use to put the ideas into action. If accountability support is something you need, you can check in with the community about your plans, and we’ll cheer you on!
