Are you me? ๐Ÿ˜… I haven't been able to work for 4 years because I burnt out so hard working in politics, a field I loved.

I agree with a lot of what the author said, but sort of feel like they could do some more work on not feeling pressure from neurotypical society? I recently finished reading "Unmasking Autism" by Devon Price and really found it helpful in this regard.

Same as the two of you. (For me it was science that burnt me out.) I really liked the book, too.
