episode 198: E198 - HSP & Trauma vs. Autism/ADHD: 5 Signs It's CPTSD, Not ASD/ADHD
"I was first diagnosed with an Anxiety Disorder, at age 35 I was diagnosed with Autism and then my therapist told me I have ADHD as well."
I read a ton of these comments here on YouTube.
BUT there is one big problem: I suppose that many of them are far from the truth.
In fact, the reason for many symptoms people experience might be actually childhood wounds and trauma.
To prove that, today,
we will define, what complex trauma actually is (and that most people have a completely wrong understanding of it),
We will discuss, if many people really use autistic masking, or maybe do something else? ;)
Find out, if it’s actually ADHD caused inattentiveness or another learned pattern
And we will debunk many more typical autism and ADHD related symptoms
