Sydney Zarlengo | A Nuanced & Neurodiverse Look at Parasocial Relationships [CC] @disabled.autistic.lesbian | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
All of the internet breakdowns of parasocial relationships usually just say "they're bad" and don't look at the research or the reality that, in many cases, the people most positively and negatively impacted by these relationships are neurodivergent people who struggle with face to face interaction. They also usually ignore the steps of "how can I protect myself?" and "how can I protect my favorite creators?". So today we're going to talk about all of that.
