File a complaint through eBay if you can. That is a direct aggression of ableism. Not a micro aggression. An ableist aggression. It is horrific and not surprising. Overreach from abled social justice is starting to swing the pendulum back hard. It will get worse for us, I think.

Also the never discussed reality that while autistic expression makes NTs uncomfortable, NT ways of existing make us equally uncomfortable. Lying, pretending, saying one thing and meaning another. Why do people do that when they could just be honest? is what I often think

How many chemical and fragrance heavy products do you use to clean it and yourself? I stripped all chemicals from my personal products, and use baking soda and vinegar to clean. Drastically improved the shower experience. Worth a try. MCS is a common comorbidity

Thats less a DNF and more a NFM. DNF as classification should have some major qualitative flaw that disrupts the reading, NFM (not for me) acknowledges the competitive quality and classifies it as something that disintetests rather than disrupts. DNF = objective NFM = subjective

This is just repeating what 95+% of the medical profession leave medical school thinking about ME/CFS, fibromyalgia ++ It's psychsomatic, mostly affects females so of course. It's just a 21st century jargon-filled version of the roving womb. None of this is surprising.

I notice this too, especially when trying to advocate or do word-of-mouth disability rights in Canada activism. Their fragility is ALWAYS treated as WAY more important than the health or safety of me/my community. Given MAiD here, and what's happening to us, I find it apalling.

No. Just no. You can be on the neurodiversity spectrum, we all are, but autism is not a "we all kind of are" thing, and you are essentially invalidated 100% of the autistic population and erasing our experiences when you engage this way. Either you are autistic or you're not.

Does anyone else clean it leaving residue? I shared a shower with people who did and that was the same as using it myself. The steam would bring up the chemicals and breathing them within ten minites hard to breathe, heart pounding/racing, sitting in shower.

@NIH
The defining feature of ME/CFS is mitochondrial dysfunction that reduces your aerobic threshold to ~ 40% of a healthy person. Which means anaerobic energy is being forced into use by basic acts of living. Bypassing this threshold again and again causes inflammation in the brain.

Hope you find a treatment then, that's the only other option to improve. I've been where you are, gotten much better. Takes sleep management, HR max management, and a working treatment. I had Showers for 5-6 years that were like that. Not for years now. Cannabis an option?
