@pathfinder This is more directly related to folks with AuDHD - we will literally risk our personal safety & social reputations - if we truly feel they need to be sacrificed for justice & greater good. This is how almost every single AuDHD person I've ever met feels about injustice.

@greywarbler @KatS I think many of us autistic folks need to be aware of compassion fatigue (very real) & learn to create our own self care plans. Every one of us is different when it comes to personal self care plans - despite how many similarities we have in thoughts/behaviours.

#CompassionFatigue is very real & it's another reason why #SelfCare matters. It's high in both #caregivers & #activism & many #health #medical related #FrontlineWorkers fields. We all need safe places to vent & also personal respite time. Sometimes self care is doing nothing but sleep or lie down. We need to be able to self monitor ourselves & reach out for more help & support when needed. It's hard to do that if you're not used to asking for help but we all need extra help sometimes ❤❤

It is almost beyond belief that people can still be high functioning with it.

For example it is well known that veterinarians and other trauma doctors have a high suicide rate due to #CompassionFatigue.
