New research.
Groups often offer 'social skills training' to allegedly 'improve' our social skills.
Does it work?
No.
We're just as autistic afterwards, & still use our own natural social skill set.
They recommend working with us, in future. What a good plan.

Just catching up on the Witcher 4 Ciri controversy. I think this quote from Geralt in Witcher 3 sums it up:
"Hatred and prejudice will never be eradicated, and witch hunts will never be about witches. To have a scapegoat: that's the key"

Rejection sensitivity is central to ADHD, autism, and cPTSD.
Mental health services rarely understand rejection sensitivity, which is why people in all three diagnostic categories are so often told there is something wrong with their personality.
There isn’t.

For #disabilityhistorymonth2024 maybe it's time we talk about the everyday mental load on disabled people to get the bare minimum in reasonable adjustments. It's exhausting and disheartening. Why are we always asking the people with the least to give more of themselves? #disability #chronicillness

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong
