#autism #burnout #executivefunction
If you’ve been following my recent videos, you’ll know I’ve been actively battling burnout and executive function fatigue.
When I finally asked myself, “How did I get here?”
The answer was uncomfortable.
I did almost everything wrong… all at once.
In this video, I explore:
How working for yourself doubles your executive load
Why flexible schedules increase decision fatigue
The hidden cost of working from home
Why transition time matters more than you think
How “relaxing” hobbies can secretly drain you
What true rest actually looks like
Burnout isn’t always about working too hard. Sometimes it’s about working in ways your nervous system can’t sustain.
I’d love to hear which part resonated most with you.

👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!
If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.
Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.
Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.
Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too.
