Learn more about ADHD: • ADHD In this video, I talk about the complex journey of Ethena, a gifted and autistic woman who faces recurring bouts of burnout caused by work. Since childhood, Ethena has always been considered extremely intelligent, with cognitive abilities far above average, but this same intelligence ended up masking the challenges associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Now, as an adult and diagnosed late, she faces the challenge of dealing with shutdown crises and the emotional impact that work has on her life. I explore how giftedness (also known as high abilities) can camouflage autism, leading to a life of overload and suffering, and I discuss the importance of diagnosis for self-knowledge and adapting strategies in the workplace. Follow this real story of twice exceptionality to understand how Ethena is dealing with these challenges and what additional strategies can help her achieve a better balance in her professional and personal life. ⭐Hello, I'm Dr. Thiago Bezerril, a Psychiatrist.
