Are there any counselers here who specifically focus on working with adults with autism?

Thank you for the question. I am very happy to hear you are advocating for what you need.There are therapists who work specifically with those dealing with Autism, and have a clearer understanding of what it is like so they don't have to ask as many questions. That being said, everyone is unique and Autism doesn't look the same for everyone experiencing it. So there will most likely still be some questions that accompany counseling. In addition, trying to understand what your life is like, not just because of Autism but because you are an expect in you and so helping your therapist understand what that burnout is like will help them to offer insights and skills you can try to manage and decrease that. If you have insight about a particular area of your life you feel the burn out in (work, relationships, financial, family, etc) it may also help to look at therapists who specialize in those aspects of life (career counseling, family counseling, life coach, etc). 

In terms of picking a therapist, fill out your intake form thoroughly so that the referral team can place you with a therapist that will best meet your needs. Be clear about your expectations so that the therapist knows if they can offer what you need. It may be a trial and error process at first but I am confident you can find a therapist that you connect with who provides you the level of care you need. You also have the option to explore therapists on your own and request to be placed with a particular one. That may be your best bet in finding someone who you like, but again, be clear about your needs because if you choose them they may no feel they can best support you and you want to address that sooner than later. 

Based on what you've shared, it sounds like you believe Autism directly correlates with your burnout, so it is important you find a therapist who does specialize in that population. Burnout happens to a lot of people and a therapist who doesn't specialize in Autism may still be helpful, but a believe a specialist will be able to offer the best feedback that will work for you.
