Autism Early Support

Can you recognise the signs of autistic burnout? Some of our staff recently attended the Autistic Burnout Conference as part of our ongoing commitment to learning and strengthening the support we provide to autistic children. Understanding autistic burnout is essential for recognising when a child may be experiencing prolonged stress, exhaustion, or overwhelm. This graphic highlights the different stages of autistic burnout and the signs that may present at each stage. You can learn information like this and so much more on our Parent's Portal.
