Autism and cPTSD. The internal experience.

A lot of mental health professionals tend to confuse the basic neurocognitive structure of an Autistic person with symptoms of cPTSD and vis versa. They are very different with different therapeutic strategies needed to help the patient. We should be clear that Autism is a neurotype and we are bottom up thinkers and we view the world differently. We can also be traumatized by living in a world not built for us but we should be discussing all co- occurring conditions when looking at mental health and lack of knowledge is not a great excuse to only deal with one part of a person's struggles.
