Welcome to Wrong Planet.
I think you're right that many of our mental health problems stem from the clash between our autistic traits and being surrounded by a world which isn't sympathetic to them. Burning out, in particular, is often mistaken for depression, I think (though it can certainly also lead to depression). I have worked in quite a variety of different jobs, including in hi-tech industries which are stereo-typically thought more "autism friendly". I have found that it certainly helps if the work itself fits my traits, but that the dominant social norms have been just as much of a problem wherever I've been employed.

Isn't that where Count Dracula lived?
You're thinking of Transylvania (in Romania). In the stories, he was later a resident of Whitby in Yorkshire, too - they have a big Dracula festival there for Halloween.
