Comic title: Autistic Burnout. Dee lies on the floor, looking exhausted. “Hi!” she says. “You're probably wondering what I'm doing down here.” She turns over. “Have you ever heard of 'Autistic Burnout'? If you're autistic yourself, you've likely experienced it before.” The next panel shows an infographic of many Dees in various states of duress. The text reads: Autistic burnout is best described as a period of extreme mental and physical exhaustion from day to day life. Experiences vary between each person, but it can be accompanied by: loss of skills, difficulty regulating emotion, increased sensory sensitivity, a surge in repetitive behaviours, intense anxiety and other mental health issues.
