#037 Seventeen Miles Among the Giants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Starting in my mid-30s, I went through a decade where I could suddenly become too sick to follow through on anything. For the first couple of years, every single plan I made fell through.What I didn’t know at the time was that I was falling into autistic burnout, nor did I know I was autistic, so I had no way to define it or manage it.Last-minute changes can lead to meltdowns for me or, at the very least, steal my spoons,1 and those are two things that lead to more burnout.

My friends went on for an hour or so, laughed about it, and went about their lives. I did not.Up until that point, I was pretty sure there was no place on Earth that I actually belonged.
