Seeing some neurotypicals talking like autistic people have recruited people who weren't autistic into some autism trend or fad, or even brainwashed them into a cult.
It's hogwash, obviously. Like it's some kind of 'Rapid Onset Autism' or something.
Trans people know this denial device well.
So do gay people.
It only looks sudden to someone who you were hiding it from, who doesn't know you've been struggling and grappling with shame about it for years, or even your whole life, without letting people know.
For trans and other LGBTQ+ people it's a closet, for autistic people it's masking.

victim: *does anything that makes the abuser feel bad, like characterize their mistreatment accurately*

abuser: *does what they can to immediately make the victim feel bad so the victim stops*

...I'm not going to say this never happens outside abuse relationships, because I'm sure it's a toxic coping mechanism a lot of folks have acquired from one place or another ... but I /will/ say that if you're wondering if someone is willing to treat you with respect, consideration, and regard? Seeing them act this way is a pretty big sign that they aren't.

"Enamel Pin"

based on an actual enamel pin I bought for my bag

Douglas Adams wrote about this conundrum. The Total Perspective Vortex is a machine, which, when used, you are given just one momentary glimpse of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation, and somewhere in it a tiny little marker, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot, which says "You are here"

The shock alone instantly annihilates your brain. It's "the most savage psychic torture a sentient being can undergo". The Total Perspective Vortex proved one thing, "it proved conclusively that if life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot have is a sense of proportion."

@Sapphicgiraffic I'm not familiar with the reference, "brothers war" makes me think of something else
