Thanks for th write up! It was very helpful, I was feeling super off about it because, like I said, im autistic, and I do also have some complex trauma. It was especially upsetting because my autism is literally what I am. It's important to my identity in a similar way and as much as my gender identity, for example. And trauma is something purely negative that I wish I wouldn't have gone through.

What does kind of make sense though is how trauma can exacerbate symptoms, such as being easily overwhelmed with seemingly innocuous situations.

No problem i kinda understand how you feel my SO got her diagnostic 2 yrs ago and it's been constant research since. Keep it up and continue questionning everything, no one has ever been harmed by a question. Much love from canada 👋

Very good attitude! You sound like a great and supportive spouse. I'm lucky to have a partner like that, too. Love back from Switzerland ✨
