The Connection Between RSD and Autism: Looking at the how and whys around what makes RSD so prevalent in neurodiverse populations.

“Traditionally, autism was defined by its core symptoms, including social communication difficulties and the insistence on sameness, which paid scant attention to the emotional experiences of autistic people. This oversight has, therefore, led to low awareness and campaigning on RSD, an issue that affects autistic individuals in their day-to-day lives."
