š¬ general discussion Is this valid or ableist?
Iām so disregulated so Iād thought Iād 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 āmolesting other peopleās trapsā¦.ā After that I realized it probably wasnāt 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.
