It offers parents and professionals practical strategies to prevent autistic burnout and provides guidance on supporting those already in distress.

For every child that has been forced into school in pyjamas, for every parent blamed for their child's non-attendance, for every professional who wants to learn more and for every young person traumatized by those who thought they knew best-this book is for you.

Quotes

This is a hugely informative book about what can lead to autistic burnout, the pitfalls when managing autistic burnout, and the stages of recovery your child might go through. I found it easy to read, and the personal experiences make it easy to relate to. All written through a neuro-affirmative voice, it reassures the parent that Burnout can be supported and can pass.

Jodie Clarke tackles the difficult topic of Autistic Burnout with empathy and insight in this much needed resource. Providing practical guidance on prevention and management of burnout in Autistic youth, this book is essential reading for anyone supporting the mental health of Autistic children and teens.

Autistic Burnout is a little-known and mostly misinterpreted phenomenon. This comprehensive text, informed by the latest research, professional, and personal experience, should be the go-to for clinicians, caregivers, and Autistic people curious about understanding both the context for and impact of Autistic Burnout.
