E23 | Autism or CPTSD? Why it’s so easy to confuse the two

from WTF is AuDHD?

Autism or trauma - or both? In today’s episode, we (very basically) unpack the complex relationship between Complex PTSD (CPTSD) and autism. We explore the ways the two can look similar, why autistic people are more likely to experience trauma, and why it’s so important to approach self-identification with care and curiosity. We reflect on personal experiences, share research insights, and offer guidance for anyone navigating these diagnoses. With so many of you finding value in our conversations, we thought it was important to touch on this point. This episode only scrapes the top level of this topic so we strongly encourage you to do your own research.Neurodivergent insights article we reference: https://neurodivergentinsights.com/ptsd-and-autism/LINKTREESOCIAL @wtfisaudhdpodcast Hosted on Acast.
