The 0% at home problem — giving everything at work and having nothing left

Ever give everything you have at work and have nothing left the second you walk in the door? In this episode, I'm breaking down why the “0%” feeling isn't laziness, and what's actually driving it. I'm walking through why work costs high-masking autistic adults so much more than the job itself, why that cost is invisible to everyone around you, and what actually helps once you're running on empty.

In this episode:

• What the 0% actually looks like, and why work drains high-masking autistic adults more than the job itself
• Why the exhaustion is invisible from the outside, and why that makes it look like laziness
• Why “just push through it” backfires and leads to full autistic burnout
• What actually helps: acknowledging it, building in recovery time, lowering the bar at home, and adapting your day-to-day
