The Neuro Burnout Quiz for ADHD & Autistic Brains

Let’s get real about your burnout—no fluff, shame, or ‘just try harder’ advice.

We’ll only use this to send your results—no spam, ever.
🧠 This quiz is made specifically for neurodivergent brains—no gaslighting, no neurotypical guilt-trips—just clarity and care.

How it works:
Rate 10 statements based on how often or intensely they apply to you right now—not how you think you should feel.

1 = Not at all — I’m fine (probably)
2 = A little — It’s creeping in
3 = Somewhat — I notice it but can push through
4 = A lot — It’s affecting daily life
5 = Constantly — Send help

🧘‍♀️ There’s no grade here—just insight to help you move forward.
Take a breath and answer honestly. 💛
