Autistic burnout is a common experience in the neurodivergent community

Join the ABN

For neurodivergent professionals ONLY who have a good understanding of autistic burnout

The Autistic Burnout Network recognises and embraces the importance of understanding intersectionality and the fact that neurodivergent people are more likely to be multiply marginalised. This includes race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, age, disability and religion etc.

We embrace neurodivergent affirming, LGBTQIA affirming and trauma informed practices.

We reject all behavioural approaches (including ABA and PBS), because these can harm autistic people.

The Autistic Burnout Network & Our Aims

Image

The Autistic Burnout Network

The Autistic Burnout Network is a group of neurodivergent professionals, including: neurodivergent doctors, therapists, mental health professionals, advocates, teachers and authors, all with a passion for helping other professionals without lived experience, understand autistic and other neurodivergent burnout.

The aim for this network is to promote the understanding of neurodivergent burnout and to create a place where professionals working with autistic and other neurodivergent people can come for the information, education and training they need to understand and recognise autistic and other neurodivergent burnout and learn how to best support neurodivergent individuals.

The ABN Conference 2026

Amazing , so many great speakers, so much to soak up and to apply. Feels like a very safe space xx great to be around those that just get it

Each presenter really brought so much great information, compassion and validation. I really appreciate being in space with people who get it.

Fantastic conference, I've learnt so much and feel so much better about where I am

It was absolutely amazing. Even though I knew much of what was discussed beforehand, the depth of knowledge was astounding in addition to deeply validating (found myself in tears on multiple occasions)

This conference was utterly brilliant. Such a beautiful mix of autistic people's experiences and perspectives, a wide range of information which was sometimes general and other times in-depth

Relevant speakers who can all relate due to personal experience. A lot of useful information that was clearly presented

This conference has already exceeded all expectations! Absolutely brilliant, huge thanks to everyone involved.

It's lifechanging for me as a self-diagnosed autistic person and 3rd time burnout, trying to get on a recovery path.
