Neurodivergent Burnout: A Guided Workbook for Recovery and Self-Understanding

Neurodivergent burnout is not the same as general burnout, and it does not respond to the same

advice. It tends to build slowly, over years of masking, adapting, and working considerably harder than others around them, simply to keep up with environments that were not designed with your brain in mind.

By the time it becomes impossible to ignore, most people have been pushing through it for a long

time. This workbook is for you if any of this resonates. You are exhausted in a way that sleep does not fix. Tasks that used to feel manageable now require disproportionate effort. You have noticed changes in your mood, your motivation, or your capacity to handle things that previously felt straightforward. You feel flat, or reactive, or both at different moments. You suspect that what has happened is not simply stress, but something that goes deeper.

This workbook is not a recovery programme with steps to follow. It is a quieter thing than that, a space to slow down, understand what has been happening, and find a gentler way forward. There is no timeline and no expectation that you will complete every page in order.
