How to actually recover from autistic burnout

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 10:41:19 GMT

This episode is about neurodivergent burnout: what it actually is underneath the "I'm just tired" framing, what it's felt like in my body recently (fatigue that doesn't lift, small tasks turning into walls, sensory and social tolerance disappearing almost entirely), and the window of tolerance, the idea that burnout isn't one flat state but a constant swing between shutdown and meltdown, rarely landing anywhere near regulated.

I also get into why the standard advice for burnout doesn't work for a neurodivergent nervous system, and Low Power Mode: the nine things that are actually helping me recover right now, not the polished version, the honest one.

If you've ever cancelled plans you really wanted to go to, gone quiet on the people who love you, or sat with a kind message for a week because you couldn't bring yourself to reply, this episode is for you.

In this first episode of Actually Adulting, Tyla shares the moments she's been collecting her whole life: the ones that confirmed she didn't quite fit, the ones nobody named, and what she eventually did with all of them.

From being sent to anger management at eight years old, to masking through school, to finally understanding what was actually happening in her body.

If you've ever held it together all day and then fallen apart the moment you got home, this one's for you.
