Rejection happens to all of us, the experience is different for autistic/neurodivergent people than for Neurotypical people. It's hard to say why due to various factors since we are all different. When it comes to rejection from auditioning or something and I don't make the cut, I take it as im talentless or whatever when in reality it's competitive. The RSD brain doesn't see it like that
I found a voice-over challenge for upcoming voice artists. I was under the impression we'd have multiple chances ( eg a reload and try again type deal) but it was an elimination type deal. The creators posted updates and I didn't pass the first round and now I'm deep in RSD=rejection sensitivity dysphoria
