    A Clinical Approach to Working with Clients in Burnout 

    About This Training

    • Designed for Neurodivergent-affirming therapists seeking to better understand Autistic burnout, this toolkit brings together a core training on Autistic burnout with a comprehensive, client-friendly workbook.

      You’ll walk away with clear frameworks, practical language, and ready-to-use tools to support your clients in navigating burnout — and a deeper understanding of how burnout connects to identity, mental health, and lived experience.

      The training includes lecture-style instruction, clinical examples, and guided reflections designed to support the learning objectives and facilitate application in clinical and supervisory settings.

    Training Overview

    What You'll Learn

    By the end of this training, you will be able to:

    • Identify the core features and common contributors to autistic burnout and differentiate it from depression and general burnout.
    • Describe how masking, sensory overload, and unmet support needs contribute to the development of autistic burnout.
    • Apply neurodivergent-affirming strategies to support recovery from burnout in autistic clients, including harm-reduction and self-attunement practices.
    • Articulate how awareness of Autistic burnout can serve as a suicide prevention strategy, particularly in populations that are frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked.

    What's Included

    • 1 hour of on-demand video content
    • The Autistic Burnout Workbook and Toolkit with licensing rights to share with clients
    • Autistic Burnout Checklist to help clients recognize signs of burnout
    • 5 printable handouts that can be used to simplify complex concepts and support psychoeducation with clients

    Intended Audience

    This training is ideal for:

    • Licensed professional counselors (LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC) and National Certified Counselors
    • Psychologists, therapists, social workers, and other clinicians working with Autistic or ADHD adults
    • Coaches seeking a more neurodiversity-affirming, identity-centered approach to care and support
    • Supervisors or educators integrating affirming practices into training spaces
    • While this is a clinical training designed for providers, late-identified or self-questioning neurodivergent adults have also found this training meaningful.

    Course Level

    This training would be considered an intermediate level. It is ideal for neurodivergent-affirming clinicians who are newer to working with Autistic burnout or seeking to build more confidence in recognizing and supporting clients experiencing burnout.
