@servelan@ratcatcher ^^ @uq is spot-on. Too few of us grew up understanding boundaries -- at least our own boundaries and our individual imperative to assert them.
There are so many times I need to rant and get stuff out. In every instance, history's taught me i need to mind the audience, so if i CHOOSE to rant here on Mastodon, in a thread that catches many of my nd cousins… i'm going to be mindful and respectful bc everyone on the @actuallyautistic list really makes the effort to participate
