Autistic people are likely to experience trauma at a higher rate compared to neurotypicals. Sometimes these traumatic experiences turn into Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. There has been more research regarding the combination of ASD and PTSD, including how PTSD affects autistic people. PTSD has also been explored as a form of acquired neurodivergence, or how some brains are re-wired after birth. What does it mean to have two forms of neurodivergence? This workshop will go over the intersection of PTSD and ASD, the basics of EMDR (a common trauma therapy), and PTSD as acquired neurodivergence.
