I'm an adult autist on diagnose process. I'd like to ask for advice about "passing burn-out". I can't function 100% for prolongued time on most kinds of works except my own profession, and economical crisis has made that almost impossible too. I don't want to end working minimum wage on jobs for disabled, as that don't cover the cost of basic independent living here and I have talent for my profession. How do I manage to get enough energy again?

That’s a bit of a tough one for all of us to figure out, I think.
I’m a non-worker, so most of my experience with burnout is of a slightly different kind. But I generally try to make sure, if I’m burnt out on people, that I have time to myself every day. Even just an hour, even if it means I have to tell people not to bug me for that time. Sometimes knowing that I have Me Time can help.
Certain relaxation techniques, like yoga (you can find yoga routines on Youtube), can also help. I know that sounds a bit cheesy and cliche, but it is something that might help and I’ve had a bit of luck with it myself.
Anyone else got some advice? What sorts of strategies do y'all use to recover from passing burnout?
