I frequently debate this.
I do agree that there are many symptomatic overlaps between neurodivergence and major mental health conditions, like CPTSD, BPD, depression, and anxiety, etc.
My perspective is that neurodivergence is not a result of trauma, but rather growing up neurodivergent in a neurotypical society is inherently traumatic, especially when complicated by the experience of neglect and abuse within one's own home.

autism doesn't just go away with perfect care, though, and we need to be careful about sounding like abuse causes autism. it doesn't.

People are not understanding she's saying the things that caused her to get a diagnosis match the symptoms of being neglected much like me she's probably wondering am I autistic or just traumatized

truely wild how many are hearing something she said at no point here. having a diagnosis doesn't equal being autistic, or there wouldn't be so many undiagnosed/misdiagnosed people out there. you all forget that dsm diagnosis is a tool of oppression, for everyone who isn't a white cis male

Recoveringfromdoxx aka Edith :
If the working theory is that autism develops bc of abuse and neglect at home, then aren’t you also saying the treatment would be to remove the child from their parents and their home?

You’re describing cluster B personality disorders and C-PTSD. Autism is neurodevelopmental.

Trauma doesn’t result in autism, we’re born with it. Trauma can come later and cause a different diagnosis though.

If that’s the case then u likely are misdiagnosed autism and may have something more akin to bpd or something similar. Not comin at you, just offering my perspective, as misdiagnosis is very common

Wouldn’t it be interesting if you weren’t autistic after all and have been making content about it all this time. Genuinely think about it, maybe some people who are online are not autistic after all

Wait I’m confused. Do you think you’re not autistic now? Are you going to clarify what you mean in this video? I feel like a lot of us are confused by what you mean.

GIRL I AM SO TIRED of it being so impossible to differentiate between my CPTSD symptoms and my autism things because this world produces net zero untraumatized autistic people
