In today’s interconnected world it is nearly impossible to avoid hearing about wars, humanitarian crises, and political unrest. From Palestine and Ukraine to Sudan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Haiti, and Myanmar, stories of violence, displacement, and suffering dominate the news cycle.

For many people this constant exposure does more than keep them informed. It begins to take a toll on emotional well-being. Feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and despair are becoming increasingly common as people struggle to make sense of events that feel beyond their control.

It wasn’t just the act itself, though that alone was jarring enough. It was the realization of what would follow: the excuses, the defenses, and, inevitably, the invocation of his autism to explain away the inexcusable.
