The trigger warning is because the topic can be emotionally heavy for autistics since it talks about the social abuse autistics endure and how we react to it by masking. The guy has an apparent justifiably angry tone throughout the video. Otherwise, I think it is fine and there are no sensory issues to worry about.

For those that downvoted, I would like to know why. Why did you think that it should not be seen by others?

    Intresting and thank you.

    I really don’t requisite that behaviour for myself, but that comes down to a mix of good environment and a bit too easy time to tell people to fuck off. Like the bar scenario I won’t have a problem telling people I don’t want to go and if they like me less because of that it’s there lose. Good friends of mine could probably get me to try going if they insist it will be fun, but then we come back to the good environment. All the people that would be able to do that, wouldn’t have a problem with me going nope afte trying and they would help me to be in a calm location until either getting me home or having someone come pick me up.

    It makes me sad that not everyone has it like that.

      Yeah, it sucks that it’s common enough of an experience for autistics that someone made a 20+ min video on it. However, I’m happy you don’t find yourself in that situation! You might have some tips to teach other autistic people on how to socially engage.
