The trigger warning is because the topic can be emotionally heavy for autistics since it talks about the social abuse autistics endure and how we react to it by masking. The guy has an apparent justifiably angry tone throughout the video. Otherwise, I think it is fine and there are no sensory issues to worry about.

For those that downvoted, I would like to know why. Why did you think that it should not be seen by others?

    Looked up what “fawning” meant, never heard that word before

    praising someone too much and giving them a lot of attention that is not sincere in order to get a positive reaction

    Haven’t watched the video so I’m unsure of the context, whether it’s about a neurotypical as the recipient of fawning, or a neurotypical fawning another individual

      It’s similar. It argues that masking among autistics is fawning because it’s hiding who they truly are to please others. Their masking of being uncomfortable with sensory processing, being ostracized, and pretending to be okay with things…the author states that is fawning. I’m OP, and I thought is was a great video that I really needed to watch, and I believe it will help me in the long run. I can summarize more of the video if you would like.
