I wish it was possible for all of us who've been injured by Trump's criminal negligence, sedition and lies to sue him for ruining our lives. Sue him for damages and for pain and suffering. #LivingInFear #Trump #COVID #TrumpsCriminalNegligence

Beginning to round out the autism threads now, bringing them back home as to why this all belongs on Global Dark Theme.

Hashtags that've brought matters along to this point :

Spoiler: none of this, it turns out, has anything to do with autism.

It has everything to do with trauma.

An experience not at all limited to autistics.

Autistic masking is a trauma response to stigma, invalidation, and marginalisation. It requires us to project acceptability, an effort which takes up an enormous amount of energy to sustain itself, leading to high rates of self-harm, a high suicide rate, and an early average range of death.

But somehow pointing this out means we're living in fear and need help for anxiety.
