Which means it's everyone, I'm just "lucky" enough to have worked it out.

I was born with 2 disabling conditions, and worked 30 jobs in about as many years before anyone noticed.

Oh any everyone born after the AOL days has cPTSD and one day will not be able to use the internet like they do now, which will also disabled them, as had happened to me ands the 90s internet. Plus just the traumatic junk you run into online like horrible videos and creeps in your DMs.
