She explores what autistic burnout really is: a state of profound, long-term nervous system depletion caused by chronic environmental mismatch, masking, sensory overload, and the cumulative labour of navigating neuronormative systems. Through an occupational therapy lens, burnout is reframed not as failure, but as a signal that something in the current way of living is unsustainable. Steph discusses common signs of burnout, the burnout cycle, and why recovery can feel overwhelming, especially when even \u201crest\u201d feels unsafe. She introduces gentle, practical strategies for prevention and recovery, including radical demand reduction, recalibrating baseline capacity, and her \u201cUrgency to Safety Bridge\u201d, a visual framework for moving from high-alert survival states toward safety, even by just 1\u201310%. If you\u2019ve been feeling depleted, this episode offers validation, reframes around productivity and worth, and small, compassionate steps toward sustainable living.
