What Is Autistic Burnout?

Autistic burnout is a debilitating condition characterized by chronic exhaustion, loss of skills, and reduced tolerance to stimuli that significantly impact the lives of many autistic individuals.

Accommodation of PTSD Symptoms

Partner accommodation of PTSD symptoms involves modifying one’s behavior in response to the PTSD symptoms of a loved one. Examples include avoiding triggering situations, taking on extra responsibilities, or not expressing one’s own feelings. While often well-intentioned, accommodation can inadvertently maintain PTSD symptoms and cause distress for both partners. Studying accommodation from both partners’ perspectives can provide insights for prevention, assessment, and couples-based PTSD interventions.
