episode 200: E200 - HSP/ASD/ADHD & CPTSD: Is Almost Every Neurodivergent Person Traumatized?
Almost 70 % of children experience at least 1 traumatic event before reaching age 16.
Parallel to that, highly sensitive children and children with autism or ADHD tend to experience traumatic events more often and as more severe.
BUT does that automatically mean, that they’re also more likely to develop symptoms of a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?
Today, we will shed some light on the question: “Is almost every neurodivergent person also traumatized?”
We will therefore discuss
- Why neurodivergents might be at higher risk to develop trauma wounds
- And also what maybe makes neurodivergent children and adults more resistant to traumatic events?
