Successful to Burnt Out by Karletta Abianac

This memoir features Karletta's story of Autistic burn out - it's build up, sudden crash, emotional effects and her recovery.
Each chapter features life stories recounted by four other women on the Autism Spectrum, who’ve also experienced Autistic Burn Out.

Autistic Burn Out is otherwise known as becoming non-functioning in every day life. It is sometimes related to Autistic regression, and being utterly worn out from social anxiety and social exhustion.

Successful to Burnt Out is part of a broader series of coming eBooks in the ‘I’ve been there too Darl’ series. The series is about myself and other adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Successful to Burnt Out features five women who've considered ourselves successful in our primary role. We’ve had to slow down or stop working.
Some of us didn't know why life became exponentially harder. Why we had burnt out.
Some of us realised our limitations and could also put names to them. Anxiety. Depression. Late in life, we found out it was also from being on the Autism Spectrum.
How have we dealt with being a shell of what we once were?
How did we go from being successful to burnt out?
Where are we now in life’s journey?
