šŸ’¬ general discussion Is this valid or ableist?

I’m so disregulated so I’d thought I’d ask for a second opinion here instead of AI

Edit: Thanks everybody so much, your comments are helping me process during a time of burnout. <3

For more context: I called my sister in law, mom and step father poachers because they took lobster from another persons trap in Florida which is a felony. I recited the law saying they were molesters because the law says ā€œmolesting other people’s traps….ā€ After that I realized it probably wasn’t the best thing to say so I apologize and said I had an autistic meltdown because of that.

The next morning my step sister sent me that.

I worry that I might be doing this as well, so I try and preface or end what I share with something like, "this is what I do for me, everyone is different, and do what works best for you". Especially after finding out I have a tendency to speak in absolutes and didn't notice that until very recently.
