The Autistic Burnout Conference of 2026 may have ended but there’s still time to watch my webinar:
Monotropism After Dark: Why Autistic Attention Needs Time to Settle Before Sleep
Webinar Description:
Autistic attention often follows a monotropic pattern, focusing deeply on a small number of interests. Yet environments such as school and work frequently demand constant attention shifting, sensory processing, and social navigation. For monotropic attention systems, this can create significant cognitive strain and leave little time to process the experiences of the day.
This webinar explores the importance of evening decompression through monotropic engagement. Drawing on monotropism theory, we will discuss how time spent deeply engaged in preferred interests can support attention to settle after a day of competing demands. This kind of monotropic recovery time can reduce cognitive overload, support nervous system regulation, and help prepare the body and mind for rest. All things needed to prevent or recover from Autistic burnout.
