Early Reviewers

So tired that sleep doesn’t touch it?

Struggling to pray, to show up, to be who everyone expects you to be?

If this is you or someone you love, it may be autistic burnout.

This gentle, faith-filled book comes alongside autistic Christians, their families, and their churches to name what is so often hidden and misunderstood. Autistic burnout is not laziness, weakness, or a lack of faith. It is what happens when a sensitive nervous system has been pushed past its limits for too long—and it deserves to be taken seriously and tenderly.

Drawing on science and rich Christian theology, these pages offer simple ways to care for your body, senses, energy, and relationship with God. You’ll find help for praying when you have no words, for resting without shame, for unmasking at your own pace, and for trusting that God is not disappointed in your limits—because he never was.

Here you will not find pressure, timelines, or spiritual performance. Only an invitation to go gently, to be honest, and to be known and loved as you are.

Burnout is not the end of your story; with the God who rested and withdrew to quiet places, it can be the beginning of a more spacious, truer one.
