Autism Masking & Burnout Worksheets: Unmasking Support for Neurodivergent Autistic Adults (Fillable PDF)
$5.41 $7.22
Autism Masking & Burnout Worksheets is a therapist-designed worksheet bundle for autistic adults who function socially but feel chronically exhausted underneath. This resource focuses on the internal impact of masking how adapting, suppressing needs, and pushing through daily demands gradually drains energy and leads to autistic burnout. It is designed for use at home, in therapy, or in coaching and educational settings.
This bundle complements social skills and communication tools by addressing what happens after social functioning: energy loss, overload, and recovery. The worksheets help make masking patterns visible, track energy and capacity over time, and recognise early burnout signals, so limits can be adjusted before shutdown or collapse occurs.

Autism Masking & Burnout Worksheets is a therapist-designed worksheets bundle for autistic adults who feel chronically exhausted from masking, pushing through, and adapting to environments that don’t truly fit. Many autistic adults learn to function socially, professionally, and relationally — but at the cost of their energy, health, and sense of self.
This resource focuses on the internal impact of masking: energy depletion, burnout, nervous system overload, and recovery. It helps identify masking patterns, recognize early burnout signals, and build sustainable ways to unmask safely and restore capacity. Designed by a developmental therapist, this bundle complements social skills work by addressing what happens under the surface — making it a natural addition alongside Autism Social & Life Skills Worksheets.
