How are you ASD people handling seeing the images of starving children and infants? It makes me want to die. Ive been struggling with selfinjury lately. But seeing the pictures of these kids dying in real time in their moms arms is too much

To this I want to add personally, death is a normal part of life. If it's because of old age or humans killing each other doesn't make incredibly much of a difference to me. As long as life existed there was death & suffering. Of course I'm against unnecessary death & suffering. But I'm asking myself, why would I myself add to the suffering by suffering when I see others suffer and I can only very barely help them?
