In this follow-up to our general burnout episode, Kristin and Laura explore what burnout looks like through a neurodivergent lens — and why it so often goes unrecognised, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood.
Between chaotic mornings, ADHD hyperfocus, executive dysfunction, and autistic masking, we unpack:
• What autistic and ADHD burnout really feel like
• The difference between executive dysfunction and laziness
• Why burnout in neurodivergent people is often mistaken for depression or anxiety
• How gender roles, stigma, and social expectations shape late diagnoses
• What it means to rest, recover, and set boundaries that actually work
It’s part research, part lived experience, and all honesty — with a few chaotic tangents and candle mishaps along the way. You’re not broken. You’re burnt out. And you’re not alone.
