My husband is an aspie, and he still burns out. No matter the project (School, work, freelance, etc), he still has to pace himself. He currently has some sort of flu due to burning himself out on a project class. He was doing something he enjoyed, but the professor was rediculous on project timelines and expectations and the whole class is suffering from it. If anything, because he is an aspie, he has a lower tolerance for burnout.
