How are you ASD people handling seeing the images of starving children and infants? It makes me want to die. Ive been struggling with selfinjury lately. But seeing the pictures of these kids dying in real time in their moms arms is too much

    Badly. And I don’t look at news at all. I’m constantly back and forth ignoring it and wanting to do something. On one hand it’s a war on the other side if the world, it doesn’t directly impact me. On the other my government are actively involved and it’s 2025, everyone is connected. I think maybe I can just donate, but that’s a massive rabbit hole because apparently aid isn’t getting through, and all the usual questions about charities and where my money is going. Then I think I’ll give directly to families through GoFundMe or something, then I think how do I know they’re real and not rich con artists sat in America or somewhere. Then I get overwhelmed and ignore it all. Then my goverment does something stupid again and the cycle begins again.
