@actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe The burnout experience, before I knew I was Autistic and expected myself to be able to function like a neurotypical: Why the hell am I so tired all the time?! I get 8 solid hours of sleep! Maybe I'm eating too much sugar. Maybe I'm not eating enough. Maybe I'm eating too many processed foods. Maybe I'm not eating enough protein. Maybe I'm not drinking enough water. Maybe I'm not getting enough physical activity. Maybe I'm drinking too much caffeine. Maybe I've got mono. Maybe my body is fighting off a mild infection. Thoughts that literally never crossed my mind: Maybe I've had too many demands on my time and energy. Maybe my senses have been overloaded. Maybe I'm not giving my brain enough rest (which is different than sleep) Maybe I need to do LESS. Maybe I need a lot more alone time. It's so hard to understand why we feel a certain way when we're trying to understand ourselves as a "normal" person. #ActuallyAutistic

Instead of trying to reform the diagnostic process, we should work to move past it.

Evidence of increased PTSD symptoms in autistics exposed to applied behavior analysis - Author: Henny Kupferstein

The estimated prevalence of autism spectrum disorder in individuals over 8 years is currently one in 44, with applied behavioural analysis being the most commonly used state-funded form of treatment for autism in the USA.1 Part of its widespread availability is the policy of the American Medical Association (AMA), which supported applied behavioural analysis as the first choice evidence-based treatment for autism.1 However, at the AMA House of Delegates annual meeting in June, 2023, Resolution 706 entitled, “Revision of H-185.921, removal of AMA support for applied behavior analysis”,1 put forward two changes.
