Rejection Sensitivity or Real Rejection?

Description

Aradia, Cheryl, Patrice, and Matthew talk about the current state of the conversation around Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria in the online autistic community. Real rejection isn’t the same thing, and that nuance often gets lost, so we’re here to talk about the different flavors of rejection and ways that we can interrupt or redirect the RSD spirals when they do actually occur.
