Spot on! To this I would add:
You punished your child for being human and having normal human needs.
You expected your child to be happy and energetic 24/7 even as they had to listen to you bitch about everything under the sun.

You expected your child to quickly "get over" all trauma, disappointment, etc., when you've never gotten over any disappointment.
You found fault with many, most, or all of your child's goals and special interests -- then gave your child grief for not opening up to you more.

You're right. The Guyanese coroner reported that a staggering 80-90% of the victims were murdered by forced lethal injection, and many of the others were shot dead for refusing to drink the poison. May they all R.I.P.

Your child confided in you that they were mistreated by someone who was old and sane enough to be held accountable for their actions. You denied or minimized the abuse or blamed it on someone/something other than the abuser.
Kids remember stuff like that For. Ever.

💯Some abusers are traumatized; others are not. Past trauma is no excuse for deliberately harming innocent people. All the innocent abuse survivors I know-including PTSD and C-PTSD patients- are always trying to help and comfort others and would rather die than hurt the innocent.

Abusers will say things like, "Just move on," "Get over it," and, "Let it go" -- even though they've never gotten over, let go of, or moved on from any disappointment they've ever experienced.

I'm far from being the first person to say this, but I find it so interesting that the people who voted for Trump because "he says what he means" have been saying "he didn't mean what he said" and "what he said got taken out of context" ever since Trump was sworn into office.

2/2 Make sure your daughter knows that you love her and are proud of her and that she was made special -- not "broken" or "diseased." Let her be herself within reason. You're probably going to be amazed at how smart, talented, kindhearted, brave, and caring she turns out to be.

Many of us on the spectrum also have trouble talking on the phone. It's quite common for autistic people to have auditory processing disorder and/or extreme sensitivity to sound. Heaven help you if you're autistic AND a complex trauma survivor.

Contrary to popular belief, "Paint It, Black" is not about the Vietnam War. It's about a man mourning his lover's sudden death. However, a lot of Vietnam vets strongly relate to the grief, depression, despair, and loss of innocence expressed in the song.

I hate corny cliches, but for me, the darkest hour does always seem to be just before dawn. When I go through a "dark night of the soul," part of me feels depressed, and part of me whispers, "Hold on -- a great change is about to take place in your life." And it always does.

My exalted ex-therapist:
*Repeatedly breaking confidentiality just for fun.
*Ghosting me for days, weeks, or months on end whenever I asked her a question she didn't want to answer.
*Throwing an hourlong temper tantrum in her office when I demanded professionalism from her.

Please drop Simon-Baron Cohen from your neurodiversity summit. He is not an autistic advocate. He is a misogynistic eugenicist using outdated, debunked "research" to try to justify eradicating autistic people who aren't geniuses at things like math.

Happy faces? Does that mean that they are being released from your prison and no longer have to worry about being electrocuted, starved, restrained, or otherwise tortured just for being themselves? On second thought, those smiles look fake to me.
