The first panel shows Dee pointing at a depleted battery. “A lot of autistics say that burnout occurs as a result of trying to blend in with and meet the daily demands of the neurotypical world. Masking and camouflaging can be useful skills for fitting in at school or work, but they use up a lot of energy," she says. The second panel shows Dee screaming at the top of her lungs. “I always compare it to having to shout all day long. Most of my self-expression is internal, so I have to make an active effort to use body language, facial expressions, and tone.” In the final panel, Dee is twisting and contorting herself into a really over the top thumbs up pose with a fake smile. She looks exhausted. “Hello, how are you?!” she says in an overwrought manner. “Imagine having to do really over the top reactions for eight hours every day—that's what it feels like!” Another cause of burnout can be overstimulating environments, such as the bus we use to go to school or noisy work offices.
