Thank you for your answer, I’m happy I could help a bit. In my case probably the attacks are a response. It’s hard to say, when your mind and body get crazy, but honestly (sorry, I wouldn’t like to hurt anyone) my daughter helped me realize it. Because…
There are some autistic people and other neurodivergent (adhd, dyslexic) I work really well with, better than many neurotypicals.
There are also some neurodivergent and autistic people where our traits just do not gel. I am a big stimmer and do a lot…
