ASD1? 2? And 3?

The best I've been able to figure out is through learning enough about yourself and your requirements/reactions to prevent it. Once I'm burnt out, it's too late and I can only pick up the pieces.

Self-knowledge is the greatest tool, in my experience, especially knowing about ASD and how it affects each of us in particular.

Prevention is the only way, in my experience. I need to remember to focus on maintaining stability. Checking in with myself to catch the early warning signs of burnout (which it's taken me SO long to learn). And taking "mental health vacations" periodically in order to restore my peace.

It's a mystery to me what burns me out apart from erratic schedules, multitasking, travels and unnecesary participation in large social events.
