b"I\\u2019m honored to kick off the season with a powerful conversation about autistic burnout with autism and neurodiversity support specialist, Kristy Forbes. Kristy and I talk about what exactly autistic burnout is and how it presents, why \\u201cdeep rest\\u201d is critical for someone experiencing autistic burnout, and how autistic burnout is differentiated from mood disorders or depression. We also talk frankly about the challenges of seeing burnout in autistic children through a neuronormative lens, and how that may lead to therapies and strategies that may be the opposite of what a child in autistic burnout actually needs.\\nKristy Forbes is an Australian-based autism & neurodiversity support specialist with experience working with clients both nationally and internationally. This includes neurodivergent people and their families; and professionals who wish to support them, such as educators, psychologists, pediatricians, allied health professionals, support workers and integration aides.\\nKristy is formally identified autistic, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) as well as being a parent to four neurodivergent children.Things you'll learn from this episode\\n\\nWhat autistic burnout is and how it's different from other types of burnout\\n\\nHow mental health challenges might be misinterpreted in autistic burnout treatment\\n\\nHow to support young people, adolescents, and children in recognizing the value of taking pause and resting\\n\\nClues to help parents have a better understanding of what their child is struggling with\\n\\nExamples of what deep rest might look like for children and young people\\n\\nHow to recognize when your child is starting to emerge from burnout\\n\\nResources mentioned for Autistic Burnout\\n\\nKristy Forbes\\u2019 website InTune Pathways\\n\\nKristy Forbes on Facebook\\n\\nA Conversation with Dr. Melissa Neff About Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) (podcast)\\n\\nIn Tune Families Core Programs\\n\\nKristy Forbes on Instagram\\n\\nHarry Thompson\\n\\nA Conversation with Neurodiversity & Support Specialist Kristy Forbes (Tilt Parenting Podcast)\\n\\nKieran Rose, The Autistic Activist\\n\\nKristie\\u2019s Critical Care & Recovery Program\\n\\nSupport the showConnect with Tilt Parenting\\n Visit Tilt Parenting\\n Take the free 7-Day Challenge \\n Read a chapter of Differently Wired \\n Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram \\n \\nLearn more about your ad choices.
