Joe, you chose to come here and cause issues with what you wrote. It's true that not everyone here is an angel, and people are just going to treat you as any other, and react when challenged by the kind of stuff you write. We tend to give as good as we get.
Given your claimed vulnerabilities, clearly this forum isn't the place for you. The responsbility for taking care of your condition lies with you when you have the capacity, and it's no good trying to hide behind that condition when the inevitable backlash occurs.
There are 'vile, sadistic, inhumane and compulsively abhorrent' people here but Dorena isn't one of them, and has indeed recently faced off a whole lot of abuse related to her nationality, which you chose to ramp up on because you couldn't properly comprehend the video she made mentioning it. It's highly unlikely that anyone is having a go at you because of your neurodivergent status, as so many others are likewise neurodivergent. People here react to what they read: write something contentious, and you'll get a backlash. Tough skin required.
Life is tough at times, and I reiterate, only you are responsible for you being here, and no-one but you is responsible for the way you feel unless someone is actively having a go at you. In this circumstance the old rule of 'if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen' comes into play.
Hardly anyone would wish to aggravate your condition, but at the same time, no-one is going to walk on eggshells around you. At the same time, there will be many other equally neurodivergent people here, not just you, and they seem to manage just fine, probably because they don't make the mistake of entering a fray where they can't hold their own. The Box is notoriously nasty, not helped by the inducement to 'say something nice' - almost a red rag to some. It's brutal, and wise souls rarely comment there as there is a more than evens chance you'll get your head bitten off. Others, like Nico, who seems to have a platinum hide, strides in there and completely discombobulates pretty much everyone with her surreal comments.
You have choices to make, but if you decide to remain, I suggest avoiding controversy, and maybe think along lines of maybe writing something about how Opensim helps you with your condition, if it indeed does at all. We are not without compassion, but at the same time we aren't just going to stand there while someone has a go at us, especially when they appear to have completely misunderstood a comment or article - which happens with worrying regularity; comprehension skills often seem to be in short supply among too many on this forum.
