Autism Parent Burnout
You cannot regulate a child while running on empty.
Reduce load, share the work
Burnout builds from constant vigilance, admin overload and isolation — not from a lack of love or effort. Signs include exhaustion that sleep does not fix, irritability, detachment and dread. Relief comes from cutting the number of decisions per day: shared routines, one place for notes and reports, another adult who genuinely shares tasks, and permission to lower the bar on everything non-essential.
