Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

I'm sorry your experience has been like this. My therapist helped me a lot with things that were causing me to struggle but never implied they were inherently "wrong." I don't find maladaptive things to be wrong, but there's no shame in pointing out when something is maladaptive.
I can understand how horrendous the sensory symptoms are to live with, but for me I don't think I'd ve me without my autism. Sometimes as a kid I would feel bad for allistics. Their feelings seemed so shallow in compared to the autists I grew up around.
We non-autistic people do in fact have powerful, deep and overwhelming emotions. Quite often.
I know. I used the term "seemed" (past tense) and said "as a kid" for a reason. Then I explained some examples of things that lead me to that conclusion. I know plenty of non-autistic people.
