A couple of researchers are going to be doing a study "that would attempt to investigate the potential causal relationship between autism and cPTSD".

For information regarding this study, and explanations about who is welcome to participate, one of the researchers, Nicole Filippone, has made a Facebook post detailing everything. (You don't need a Facebook account to see it).

I have signed up myself, as I suspect I am autistic and definitely have cPTSD. Hopefully it will be insightful!

Please boost this so the study can get as many participants as possible!!

@Bwee @pathfinder i might have considered participating but i will not click a facebook link for love nor money.

in fact the researchers’ blithe use of Meta as a means of communication demonstrates an untrustworthiness which means they’ll never hear from me.

pass that along if you wanna help the researchers find subjects.

@Bwee For me the autism came first. The cPTSD for me came about due to 40+ years of undx'd ND living and basically being told I sucked at being human and/or a "girl". However, they have done studies to show that our brains because of the way we process information tend to make trauma much more complex and long lasting, leading to cPTSD at higher rates. I've signed up. Thanks for sharing.
