Is it trauma or is it autism / ADHD?

 

It's time to put this false dichotomy to bed.

​

Why 'Not A Venn Diagram?' Well, there is a common misconception that autism has "symptoms", and that these "symptoms" are difficult to differentiate from symptoms of trauma (e.g., comparing symptoms of two disorders).

 

I hope to shift this perspective by highlighting that comparing autism/ADHD (neurotypes) and trauma (mental health) is comparing apples and oranges. That is, traits of a neurotype and experiences of disability are conceptually distinct from symptoms of trauma.

​

Join me in exploring the reasons for this common barrier to identification, and learn clear, practical ways to delineate neurotypes, trauma, & disability (based on evidence and community lived experience).
