Way to find out an old friend from over a decade ago died reading on the front page of Hacker News. Sigh.

I, an ignorant person, I have since learned the more apropos word is "Kahanism"
Xennials: Please explain Stone Temple Pilots
This is a rhetorical post. Please do not respond
Why the hell do I post about anything other than computers or autism here? People are so fucking out there
If you used language like that to describe handling a proliferation of weeds in your garden, somebody would think you're going a little too far
I cannot conceive of how anybody would openly and willingly admit to supporting Israel when this manner of Zionist rhetoric is so commonplace

@xan A+ thank you I needed that laugh
@xan the problem I have with calling it "burnout" is that this exact set of symptoms and problems are very treatable, and well-studied the instant you call it "depression"
@pencilears “although it’s important to note that burnout and depression are distinct, with burnout frequently leading to depression” — second paragraph of the article. https://neurodivergentinsights.com/autistic-burnout-symptoms/

@mighty_orbot I don't agree with that statement.
@pencilears Well, that’s your choice. But the article’s author is a psychologist with AuDHD, and as far as I can tell from your profile, you’re not. So I’m going to agree with the expert on this one.

@mighty_orbot

Hey there, autistic dad with autistic kids here, jumping right in the conversation.

@pencilears nope, can assure you, autistic burnout isn't the same as depression and the two demand a different set of treatment options.

Thanks for your attention.

@mighty_orbot I just don't think there needs to be a special word for depression when it happens to someone who is autistic or just works too hard. It feels like people want to think they're too special or too smart to get depression, which contributes to the stigma against mental health, and keeps people from seeking treatment they may benifit from because what's wrong with them is too special, too unique, to respond to therapy.

This is my whole and entire opinion on the matter.

@pencilears Again: “with burnout frequently leading to depression” — which is the exact opposite of being “too special to get depression.”

If you don’t want to read the article, fine, but please don’t pretend you somehow know better just because you haven’t experienced it yourself.

@mighty_orbot Buddy, you don't know anything about me.
@xan
They got burned out right after they wrote the title.
@xan I felt seen 😆
@xan Agreed, heh. This is how I feel when things get so rough I can't do anything
