Preventing Neurodivergent Burnout: What Individuals and Workplaces Can Do

A Divergent Discussion with Jack Palmer

Burnout doesn't happen overnight. It often develops gradually, as the demands of everyday life quietly build over time. For many neurodivergent people, navigating sensory differences, masking, unclear expectations, and environments that don't always meet their needs can take a significant toll over time. Without the right understanding and support, these cumulative demands can lead to burnout, affecting wellbeing, relationships, confidence, and participation at work and in everyday life.

Join us for this practical and insightful Divergent Discussion with Jack Palmer as we explore what neurodivergent burnout really is, why it happens, and how both individuals and workplaces can take meaningful steps to prevent it.

Together, we'll discuss:

• What neurodivergent burnout is and how it differs from workplace burnout

• Early signs that burnout may be developing

• Why masking, sensory demands, executive functioning challenges, and chronic adaptation can increase the risk

• Practical strategies individuals can use to reduce burnout and recover more sustainably

• How managers, colleagues, and organisations can create environments where neurodivergent employees don't have to burn out to succeed

• Workplace adjustments that can make a meaningful difference

Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, supporting a family member, leading a team, or looking to build a more inclusive workplace, this conversation will provide practical insights you can start using immediately.
