Forgive me if this has already been discussed and please feel free to redirect or remove it. Nevertheless, I was wondering about the correlation between AS and PTSD. I’ve noticed on several threads that some members have mentioned having PTSD. I’ve not mentioned having it, as I didn’t think it germane to the subject of AS. However, there does seem to be a possible connection. Does anyone have an opinion on the subject? Does AS and PTSD go hand-in-hand?
I’m not referring to those suffering from PTSD because of catastrophic life events like combat, devastating natural disasters, manmade disasters, etc. Rather, I mean things like relentless bullying, difficulties in school, inept parents ill equipped to raise an AS child, etc.
For me, I’ve experienced some very serious life-changing events in addition to the issues brought about by the AS, so it’s hard to say in my case. I do know that a few therapists wanted to get further inside my head than I was comfortable with, so I stopped seeing them.
Anyway, I’d like to know what others think on this subject.
