I need to make a chrome extension that makes the url bar turn red if the phrase “in mice” appears in the text.
Have you no empathy for mice who are autistic war vets?
Yes because only military vets experience trauma or some shit.
They probably experience a lot more brain trauma to the point I’m a little wary of assuming they have the same condition as autistics - the etiology might be totally different with a similar symptomology which is the sort of situation the DSM is ill equipped to distinguish between.
The ICD even has the separate concept of CPTSD which imho might fit autistics better.

Maybe stimming helps people with PTSD, too. Has anybody tried that?
You mean you don't see people that have a mental breakdown rocking back and forth? It doesn't help it's a thing that happens!
Stimming helps autistic people. Refraining from stimming leads to increased anxiety in autism [1].
It can very well be the case that it does not help any allistic people, I'm not familiar with the literature in that regard. Searching for "stimming PTSD" in google scholar does not bring up any studies that look into this, so if PTSD and ASD share some common characteristics this might be worthwhile looking into.

It does, some PTSD therapies explicitly teach people with PTSD how to stim.
Well if ptsd is being stuck in a repeating loop in itself...
