I actually think it can.
If one is majorly/severely burnt out and has other conditions (other than autism), and has pressures and demands and being overwhelmed then I can see that the brain finds a way to “cope” which could be detachment from self or disassociation or psychosis. It is something one has to be very careful with to prevent from happening.
It happened to me. I had far more pressures, demands and responsibilities than I could even cope with. I have autism, adhd, anxiety and depression. Single full time parent. Working full time.Heavily dependent on chemicals such as nicotine and caffeine. I was also trying to exit from an abusive narcissistic relationship. Being a victim of a narcissist can be mentally damaging. It all depends on a number of factors, I think, other than burnout.burnout is definitely one contributing factor of psychosis though.
