    I feel it’s the autists sincerely applying themselves all day long to hold the house of cards together because they understand the importance of holding the house of cards together, while the rest are only interested in finishing their workday and going home and collecting their paychecks and will get visibly bothered if you make them think too much.

      Fellow autist here, and at first, yes. Suffered from burnout … and now the workplace can burn for all I care, I will leave on time.

        I have made a point to start and finish on time, along with taking my lunch breaks and regular hourly little stretch-eyesight breaks…

        It’s all the time in between that I struggle not to go 100%, burn out, and start making stupid mistakes.

        The last few weeks have been a thorough burn out, and we’re only in February.

        You apply yourself long enough, you are bound to burnout, and then you learn to correctly prioritize work & life.
