not enough people talk about the burnout that comes from constantly dealing with unhealed adults. always being the bigger person. always managing their triggers while suppressing your own. always explaining basic respect and accountability to people stuck in survival mode. that kind of exhaustion is soul tiring. protect your peace before you lose yourself carrying what other people refuse to heal within themselves.

AUTISM: I need a predictable job.
ADHD: I need a stimulating job.

Structured, but not rigid.
Stable, but not boring.
Creative, but with clear boundaries.
Surprising, but only in a good way.
