Do a search on WrongPlanet for “Autistic Burnout”
It’s a common topic around here.
I’m not sure what I think of it, but it kinda rings true.

Hmm, looking briefly at some of those threads, I realize that maybe my 'flame out' around 40 was partly due to ASD, not just my partner of 7 years walking out while I was at the grocery store. Totally decomped & haven't worked since. Fortunately, my parents died & left me money, so I retired & have largely restored myself after doing plenty of therapy, during which it was discovered I am on the spectrum. And also tons of meditation.
