Rejection sensitivity isn't some mysterious, unknowable thing. It's just a form of anxiety.
So anxiety management techniques will help.

We have to get members of Congress inside these facilities to report on what’s happening. It’s essential for human rights reasons - this surely isn’t good - and it’s also good politics, because whatever they find is going to be bad enough to further tank support for immigration enforcement.
BREAKING: On February 2, Sec. Noem issued a memo asserting the lapse in appropriations for DHS meant there is no Sec. 527 — the provision protecting congressional oversight visits to immigration detention facilities — and she was issuing a new (third) policy requiring seven-day notice for visits.

YES
leveled up with this explanation, cos as an autistic person i pride myself on reacting appropriately to animals, to signal harmlessness, so why wouldn't i want to do this for human animals?
never occurred to me to stop listening to the words and instead recognise the BEHAVIOUR.

Played through all of Botany Manor in a sitting and absolutely adored it. CRIED at the end. I enjoyed the game itself, but more than that I want a house decorated like this? Botanical/Insect anatomy paintings next to landscapes next to blue and white porcelain next to yellow wallpaper? YES.

Boys are about three times more likely to be diagnosed as autistic than girls are. But a new study shows women and men are almost equally as likely to be diagnosed with autism by adulthood—suggesting younger girls may be underdiagnosed. spklr.io/6046D3D9u
