There's going to be a lot of retrospectives on the cultural and political low point in America that was MAGA but a real nightmare on a personal level was the hatred of Gus Walz, Tim Walz's son.
Gus Walz and I have the same disorder, NVLD/NLD. Two things that are associated with it are alexithymia (inability to read one's own emotions) and emotional dysregulation (extremely intense emotional outbursts.) I'm so terrified of appearing "normal" during emotionally intense moments that I'll often physically leave a space or cover my face, which is especially embarrassing if I'm not totally clear what the emotion is.
Gus Walz had an actual, authentic, positive but overwhelming, dysregulating emotional response to the nomination and the Chuds pounced on him for it.
I was so furious and humiated by this that I didn't really talk to people for two days. It was all I could think about.
It's great that everyone hates these people now but it's not enough. RFK Jr lied about research and lied to millions of Americans to try to turn Autistic and otherwise Neurodivergent people into Medieval lepers and he, his allies, and this online circlejerk of hate has to go.
