In this episode of Autistic Storytime With David, we explore two interconnected concepts developed by fellow advocate and researcher Tanya Adkin: monotropic split, the cognitive injury that occurs when a monotropic person's attention is forced to fracture across too many competing demands, and lilipadding, a practical framework for navigating transitions and recovering from Autistic burnout one manageable step at a time. Drawing on personal experience and years of peer mentoring, David unpacks why autistic burnout so often feels like personal failure, why it isn't, and what a genuinely sustainable path forward looks like.
