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.

  • Yes. Living as an ND In a world not designed for you can convert a thousand tiny or great traumas in child or adulthood into a complex  PTSD.

    Living with it as a long term cause of suffering is not inevitable however, if you get the right diagnosis and right ASD informed support now.

    But do be careful. The right therapy for NTs is not necessarily the right therapy for us. Your support needs to work with not against your neurology, whatever that is.
