KC Davis of Struggle Care had a great podcast episode on this subject. The title is a little clickbaity ("Is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria Real?") but the topic is handled sensitively and with care. Bottom line is that the experience is a very real one, even if there's reasonable, good-faith debate over what the actual mechanism at play is. Like with BPD, an awful lot of people who experience RSD could also meet the diagnostic criteria for C-PTSD if we were able to accept that long-term masking & going undiagnosed for years can be a form of trauma.
Fantastic post, Rach. Thank you. I have focused so much on the autism stuff I still have quite a bit to learn about ADHD and this wasv informative and quite enlightening also!
So good. Love the thorough and yet relatable way you explain stuff. I would love to point our audience (23,000 parents, educators, and health professionals) to your newsletter. Would you like to do a resource swap?

Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful. I learn more about myself everyday
Thank you so goddamn much!
I did not know there was a name for this feeling. I thought I was just coming apart. Now that I recognize it, I ought to be able to manage it better.
Thank you!!!
Aww glad to have helped! Putting a name to something can be so validating as it helps us understand ourselves
I didn't know you went viral 😱 That must have been insane! 🥳
But Twitter is always twitter. Always people that dont have a life....
Ha well I’ve been viral a few times. This was the first time I went viral in real life which was an experience
The only time I went viral was when I got COVID.
