I filled it out for you. Hope it helps. You can always ask me anything too.

Hello! I definitely apply about 4 years in. Survey in progress. Thanks for doing this!

Done. You need a box on the last question - “Have not yet recovered as there has been no removal of burnout conditions”. I chose the first option as I had to pick one.

I changed it so it’s not required

And yes anyone, NT or ND, can experience burnout, but the triggers can be very different for neurodivergent people and the experience can be significantly amplified

Please only complete if you have experienced burnout. If you haven’t then you don’t need to. The triggers and characteristics mentioned are from experience the most common (some less so). If you disagree- the questionnaire is not the place to do so. Thanks

Done. I wrote this earlier to explain where I was coming from (bumping into large rocks are burnouts). https://bsky.app/profile/leeuw8.bsky.social/post/3lbgmg4kz7s2t

And this is where I am now. I am taking care of myself and slowing down but society is NOT supportive ("why is it taking so long? You used to be able to do these things easily") and I am so very aware of being overwhelmed, physical pains, tinnitus and under-performing.

The way in which burnout manifested for me was that I'd been overdoing it for years, and then I caught flu at uni and it turned into ME/CFS. Kept running on empty, and you just can't do that with ME. So the physical aspects of that are inextricably linked for me. Should I fill this out?

Please 🙏🏼

Done!
