Childhood Trauma.

Penny03

Anyone still suffering from childhood trauma? Some days I'm extremely happy, but then others I'm reminded and I'm back to feeling depressed.

I have been referred for an assessment, and my parents are sure I have ASD, but does ASD make trauma worse? It's always been a question of mine.

  • This has been a minefield question of mine for a couple of years now as there are so many similarities, traits, co-morbidities  and symptoms between ASC & Trauma, it seems impossible to differentiate or separate.  

    For me it has been a frustrating question like ' The chicken & Egg ' and what came first type of question. Whilst we are now being told by science that ASC is genetic as over 100 autistic genes have been identified, it doesn't seem to help if you have experienced childhood trauma as trauma can be experienced as far back as being in the womb. 

    I did a quick search regarding the two subjects but couldn't find anything on the joint topic. Has anyone else found anything ?
