Autistic Burnout & ACT: A Neuroaffirming Approach
By Dr Russ Harris‘Autistic burnout’ is not a DSM diagnosis, but it’s an incredibly common problem. It’s a debilitating state of chronic exhaustion, high distress, and loss of skills that adversely impacts every area of life, and is often misdiagnosed or mistreated.
In this eBook, Russ Harris explores 10 simple, practical tips for applying a neuroaffirming ACT approach to this complex, chronic condition.
Learn how to:
Create a safe and supportive, neuroaffirming space where autistic clients feel seen, heard, valued, and able to be their authentic selves
Validate clients’ exhaustion and suffering while helping them defuse from harsh self-judgment, and practice self-compassion.
Use ‘mindfulness on the go’, pacing and resting, dropping anchor, flexible unmasking, self-advocacy, and more - to reduce stress, foster recovery, and build a more fulfilling life
