As described in other TWs here, there are frequent depictions of child abuse, as well as abuse of 17-18 y/o characters who still live with their parents and are seen as children, thus. The entire show revolves around abuse in a roundabout manner.

Very much so. The most prominent is the abuse between a woman and her boyfriend, but there is also abuse between a daughter and her father, and a separate daughter who is neglected and emotionally abused by her father. Healthy parental and domestic relationships are few and far between and there is a *lot* of near-abuse manipulation between almost all of the depicted couples.

A lot of mention of much older men being with highschool girls, as well as talks of girls being assaulted by their fathers at unspecified ages. While most of the romantically-toned interactions between Audrey and Cooper are initiated by Audrey and pushed away by Cooper, they can still be a bit discomforting to watch for some viewers, as Audrey is still in highschool.

There are a few instances of this which are only implied in the original two seasons of Twin Peaks. (SPOILERS) Two different female characters who were kidnapped are found to have been raped by multiple men before the show's timeline starts. There is also inferred sexual assault/abuse between a few couples who are in either abusive or generally unhealthy relationships.

Early in the episode, Hawk will open the door to investigate the now trashed home of a character that previously cut their face with a gardening utensil. Look away or down as the body will show shortly later and was extremely triggering to my partner. You don’t see the head but do see the arms and legs. The body will be shown one more time when Cooper and Harry arrive to the same location, it is not shown again after that.

While no character is explicitly labelled as autistic, at least two are heavily coded as such. The adult son of a family is described as having "emotional problems," and being in the 3rd grade despite his age. He is present in the show only as a nuisance or a caricature of neurodivergence. Similarly, a supporting character is characterized by her "oddness," and strange obsessions and/or interests. She is looked down upon and sometimes demonized for this, and is lied to and emotionally neglected by her husband. When she expresses childlike emotions, she is treated poorly.

In addition to the noted Asian stereotyping, there is a police officer named Hawk who is clearly implied to be Indigenous American, who is described as "the best tracker around" and has several lines of stereotyped dialogue.
There is also a mentally disabled character who is described as "25 years old but in the third grade" who has very stereotyped behaviors such as bashing his head into things.
I'm sure there is more that I'm missing as well.

A trans woman character appears in the second season and gets deadnamed initially. I wouldn’t call her a transphobic joke character since she does get her own personality and plot and is generally treated more respectfully then many trans characters in the 90s. She is played by a cis man though. Trans viewers tend to have more mixed feelings on her like in this article: https://www.thedailybeast.com/what-made-twin-peaks-denise-such-a-radical-trans-character-on-tv

Laura Palmer says, in a recording, that she 'gets off on' physical abuse and threat. A man who previously abused her states that she liked bondage. It's not what I would call risk-aware consensual kink.

It’s hard to explain fully without getting into spoiler territory, but there is stated to be a teenager who is molested and later sexually assaulted by her father. Nothing is explicitly shown in the show, but it’s stated by the characters and a major plot point. There’s another instance where a father is attracted to his daughter unknowingly because she’s wearing a mask.

On-screen only kissing is shown, though there is a lot of spoken mention of sexual relations between characters

One of the cops cries a lot and isn't *exactly* ridiculed for it but it is kind of made a joke

It depends on how you define chronic illness I suppose, but there is a character in a wheelchair who is present throughout the show.

It isn't explicitly stated to be such, but there is an elderly man who brings room service in a hotel at the start of S2 Ep1 who is clearly not entirely mentally present or aware of the situation he is in.
