Neurodivergence Resources

An infographic titled "The Friendship Cycle and Neurodivergent Relationships" with a logo of a lotus flower and the word "Serenity". It describes a cyclical pattern in friendship dynamics for neurodivergent individuals, with three stages: 1) Initial enthusiasm can lead to frustration and burnout due to social challenges, 2) Stress of masking to fit in may manifest physically, but authentic friendships foster safety, and 3) Building friendships that honor neurodivergent communication styles and needs can break the cycle.
Informational graphic titled 'Navigating Autistic Burnout in Relationships' with three sections: 'Burnout can strain communication' showing a photo of two women talking in a park; 'Sensory overwhelm?' with an image of hands touching grass; and 'Attunement builds resilience' with a photo of two women embracing.
Infographic titled "The Autistic Burnout Cycle" showing a circular diagram with four sections illustrating the cycle of autistic burnout. The sections are labeled: "Loss of function and tolerance" with points on daily tasks, sensory inputs, decline in skills; "Burnout" with exhaustion marked by emotional, physical, and cognitive fatigue and diminishing function; "Reengage before recover" with returning to stress too soon possibly restarting the cycle; "Increase stress and Demands" with masking, sensory overload, social expectations. The infographic includes contributing factors of masking, chronic over-stimulation, and unrealistic expectations, and prevention strategies such as minimizing masking, managing sensory inputs, and self-compassion.
