You rested. You took the break everyone swore would fix it. So why can't you do the thing you used to be so good at?

In this episode, Dr. Regina McMenomy, Ph.D. and co-host Russ return to one of their earliest topics, neurodivergent burnout, with a harder and more honest update. The first time around, recovery sounded almost simple: rest, learn your capacity, come back. This time they get into what that framing left out. Neurodivergent burnout is not a bad week or a skipped vacation. It is your nervous system shutting down after a long mismatch between what your environment demands and what your brain can actually sustain. And sometimes the skills you were using to survive that mismatch do not fully come back.
