For many autistic individuals, the struggle is not just a passing phase but a structural issue resulting from navigating a world designed for neurotypicals. Saying "it will get better" can feel like their current, real pain is being brushed aside. Autistic individuals often deal with high levels of burnout and exhaustion. Encouraging persistence without offering support can push them to continue masking, leading to greater burnouts or meltdowns.
