    As an autistic system, the information was useful but a lot of the sounds were overwhelming and triggering. Good work with the editing though. I only want to help :) You might wanna turn down the background music a little, make little pauses between the takes, and if you can stick to the same mic. I really appreciate what you do. :)

    As a middle aged autistic system it's great to see someone discuss this. We have had several rounds of burnout as well. Thanks for this video. 💜

    Meltdowns and Burnouts are hard on everyone, but I can see it would be especially difficult on people with autism and/or DID. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

    Really helpful , thank you. Omg thank you! im gonna show this to my family.
  • Good information but whoever edited the audio did one of the worst jobs I have ever experienced. Sudden screeching, volumes so much louder you can't make out the narration, etc. I've had to stop only 3 minutes in because the extremally over modulated audio effects are driving me into a meltdown.

    Wanted to listen but the sound effects very traumatizing
