Having communication difficulties doesn't mean you get to behave in any which way then say "I'm sorry" yes your always going to struggle but there are things you can do to work on self awareness and boundaries.

Thank you for saying this.

Something sad is that I’ve seen some people with autism unintentionally upset some neurotypical people with CPTSD, unaware of coming across aggressive or insensitive, but then seem to prioritise their autism as needing more compassion and accommodation than the neurotypical CPTSD person.

But both have disabilities. I have had flashbacks in response to how some people with autism have spoken to me, but I feel like people in this thread would want to shout at me for that. But I am disabled too, even if neurotypical, one disability doesn’t get to shut down someone else’s, does it?

I want to have compassion for why some people with autism are hurting so much. And I want them to have compassion too for fellow CPTSD people who we share a community with together. Autistic or not, we are all struggling.

I just wish there was more compassion all around. I am afraid I will be shouted at in response to this. I am afraid to sleep and wake up to angry comments telling me I’m a horrible neurotypical person who isn’t understanding enough that others have the right to shout at me because they’re different.

I just want people to strive to be gentle with other. It’s hard but I appreciate when people do want to try. Some of the kindest and gentlest people I’ve known were autistic people who desperately wanted not to be rude. Sometimes they made mistakes but they weren’t angry and I felt safe because of that.

I’m rambling because I’m scared. I wish there was less shouting in this thread.
