‘Burnt.’ Is a fictional sequential art piece that follows the story of a young autistic woman experiencing ‘Autistic Burnout’, a long under-recognised phenomenon. As an autistic person, I am painfully familiar with how our voices are constantly ignored by those meant to support us. ‘Burnt.’ contributes to filling the insufficiencies in support by passing on community knowledge to any young autistics who feel similarly unheard and invalidated.
