Sarah and I started out laughing about RFK Jr.’s latest “circumcision + Tylenol = autism” conspiracy, and ended up talking about what it actually means to live inside a neurodivergent body.This one moves fast, from absurd politics to the real-life exhaustion of masking, sensory overload, and trying to survive in a world that keeps telling us we’re broken.We talk about trauma, C-PTSD, the overlap between PTSD and autism, and how compassion, not compliance, is the real cure.If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “too loud,” or “too sensitive,” this one’s for you.You’ll laugh, probably rage a little, and hopefully feel a little more seen.💬 Join the discussion: What helps you feel safe to unmask?Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting independent neurodivergent creators.Your presence helps keep this space ad-free, trauma-informed, and witchy as hell.Stay fresh, cheese bags, Karly and Sarah Thanks for reading Karly | Spellbound Healing!
