one of the books i was reading listed autism as one of the few psychological things it thought was probably not due to trauma, forget which book though sensory processing issues are both an autism thing and a c-ptsd thing tho

I was just talking to someone about how I feel like I have 'two types of anxiety' - there's sensory-overload panic attacks, which feel extremely different from anxiety that seems to have emotional valence/narrative/reason.

Do you think of yourself that you are autistic and/or traumatised?

I am likely on the autism spectrum and also had a bad childhood, tho I feel a little wary of both the words 'autism' and 'traumatised'

Sure, playing kinda fast and loose with words here. Have you done any interventions that would only affect one that had a meaningful effect size? (Feel free to not answer if too invasive to answer online, or DM me, or not; as you prefer - no wrong answers including no answer)

I have no idea. I've had improvements with some aspects of both the autism symptoms and the trauma symptoms, but I have no idea how to know if they're only affecting one thing.
