[Trigger Warning] Fawning Causes Abusive, Toxic Relationships for Autistic People (youtu.be)

The trigger warning is because the topic can be emotionally heavy for autistics since it talks about the social abuse autistics endure and how we react to it by masking. The guy has an apparent justifiably angry tone throughout the video. Otherwise, I think it is fine and there are no sensory issues to worry about.

For those that downvoted, I would like to know why. Why did you think that it should not be seen by others?

I couldn't get through the video... it could really use some heavy editing. He easily spent the first half of the video just saying the same thing over and over without really saying much of anything.
