Reviews / Votes
This is a hugely informative book about what can lead to autistic burnout, the pitfalls when managing autistic burnout, and the stages of recovery your child might go through. I found it easy to read, and the personal experiences make it easy to relate to. All written through a neuro-affirmative voice, it reassures the parent that Burnout can be supported and can pass. -- Niamh Garvey, author of Looking After Your Autistic Self and Being Autistic (and what that really means) Jodie Clarke tackles the difficult topic of Autistic Burnout with empathy and insight in this much needed resource. Providing practical guidance on prevention and management of burnout in Autistic youth, this book is essential reading for anyone supporting the mental health of Autistic children and teens. -- Raelene Dundon, Autistic ADHDer Psychologist and Author. Autistic Burnout is a little-known and mostly misinterpreted phenomenon. This comprehensive text, informed by the latest research, professional, and personal experience, should be the go-to for clinicians, caregivers, and Autistic people curious about understanding both the context for and impact of Autistic Burnout. -- Kieran Rose, Consultant and Researcher, www.theautisticadvocate.comMore details
