This appears to be a tiny undergrad study on something neat. I think y'all are reading too much into this. Also, there appears to be no link between acetaminophen and autism but that has absolutely nothing to do with this study.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

I have feel like that pretty often when sad, it does genuinely hurt
So it makes sense to me
wait so i can take actual physical pain meds to feel better?
It you have read the article, only for peopl with high level of forgiveness.
Im still wondering what the helll does it mean to have "a high level of forgiveness"
fuck
You can learn to be a better person. We all can.
So it no longer causes autism? /s
No it still does but that ship has sailed at this point so might as well use it.
No and neither can 5G
So, not only sticks and stones; now words can hurt you!
Yes, it is the essence. Words can hurt. That's what we have been telling people.
This is pretty funny given the recent political assertions that Tylenol causes autism, because rejection sensitive dysphoria is a symptom of autism/adhd
It might be a symptom but is it the thing that occurs only in autistic people and normal people do not experience this feeling?
RSD is not limited to people with autism or ADHD. It's just very common among neurodivergent folks
Did you read the article?
Wait
I'm abnormally sensitive about rejection because of my AuADHD?
What the flipping fuck. Fuck this shit. What drugs just turn off my brain so I can just be a blob of flesh until I die of old age since they don't like how often I complain about existence being so goddamn difficult.
It didn't turn off the brain. Read the study. Only people with trait of high level of forgiveness responded. In another word, nice, forgiving people.
Are you a nice, forgiving person? It works for good people only
The commenter that you replied to was expressing despair at how difficult their life is because they have AuDHD. They are not saying that Tylenol can turn off their brain, they are instead asking for recommendations to escape their misery.
You could try understanding the comment chain and comments before saying something that sounds cruel like:
"Are you a nice, forgiving person? It works for good people only".
Many neurodivergent people grow up abused by their parents because of their needs, and struggle with feeling like they are not good, not good enough, and not worthy of love. Saying what you did, unprovoked, to a ND person can send someone into a self-hatred spiral that is wholly unnecessary and has nothing to do with what they actually said.
Naw fuck that, I'd rather be a sloppy mess human than whatever the fuck "normal" standard addition humans are doing. Yeah, it's difficult, but have you met folks who don't have mental health issues? There's like a whole three of them and they're dead behind the eyes.
Have you read the study? It only work for people with trait of high level of forgiveness. In another word, nice people.
Are you a nice person?
Sheesh, tell me about it, just about every quirk of my personality turns out to be an ADHD symptom in the end.
I hear you, I'm ND too. Reading about things like RSD being common in people like us has at least helped me be easier on myself.
Existence is goddamn difficult and I wish I had an answer, because turning my brain off sounds wonderful. Alcohol can do that, but it comes with some awful consequences. I've also abused quetiapine, but eventually that fucked me up too. Weed does not play nice with my brain
Man quetiapine just made me panic and feel like I couldn't breathe. Actually there are a shit ton of "sedating" medications that do that to me thinking about it.
Except of course benzos, but thanks to those being cross tolerant with z drugs, they really gotta pump those in me to work at all.
I've had a little success with clonodine.
I remember abilify completely shut off my ability to think. Still had emotions, just no reasoning.
People talk about Dating being this thing that's easy to do. Yeah. Maybe if you had any choice over what was and wasn't difficult.
Im thinking about walking into therapy tomorrow and just asking "do I have to work if I'm just gonna be miserable anyway?"
I'm on clonidine for ADHD. I can actually stop myself from speaking out of turn now, so maybe it has been a little sedating xD
Dating is kind of a nightmare. I know people say anyone can find a partner, but that doesn't take into account things like sensory issues or hard boundaries around other things that keep us sane. I told myself a few years ago that I didn't want to date while I'm university, but honestly it's been so nice not forcing myself to fit into other people's boxes that I might just stay single even after I earn my doctorate
I'm also with you on refusing to participate in a misery machine for a living. I hope you can hash out some kind of misery escape plan with your therapist tomorrow
I'm on a max dosage of clonidine for HBP. I didn't know it had other effects. It does explain a bit. Thanks for the info.

Great now autism is going to spread from parent to children
Propaganda can be spread like wild fire
You get deep enough into any emotion and it will start overlapping physical neurotransmitter pathways.
Just ask anyone thats done research into schizoid personality disorder.
