social rejection and exclusion literally kill people
please keep this in mind when dealing with neurodivergent people on any kind of social level
shit like talking about us behind our backs, giving us the silent treatment, forcing us to guess at the hints you’re dropping, and flat out ghosting us out of nowhere have legitimate, serious negative effects on our mental and physical health
and no, we should not always need to get therapy to cope with this shit.
it should not always be on us to pick up after people who throw us away like trash.
we should not always have to be the ones who need to do better.
