Day 3: starting to recover from an abusive relationship, emotional abuse
Do you think you've suffered any trauma simply due to being autistic?
(trauma being pain that stays with you)
If so, what are the experiences you've suffered most trauma from? Are they sensory ones? Social ones? Or something else?
More info truly welcome - comment below 
I've put my own response in the first post below ⬇️

What proportion of your classic autistic symptoms do you think are due to you being autistic, and what proportion may be due to trauma you've suffered?

Y aurait-il parmi voustes des retours sur le somatic experiencing pour lutter contre les traumas ?
J'envisage d'aller voir une praticienne qui a l'air expérimentée mais malgré les témoignages sur le site de l'association francophone, je m'interroge encore.
Je trouve intéressante l'idée de ne pas avoir à ressasser l'origine du traumatisme.

#Trump asked if he’ll call Governor #TimWalz in wake of #Minnesota #shootings
Normally in the wake of a serious shooting or crime the #president of the #UnitedStates calls the governor to make sure they have all they need in terms of #LawEnforcement resources, #medical, #security, #trauma response etc.

This is how Trump responded:
If you’ve never been estranged from family or friends, please don’t advise others’ on how to cut off relationships. It’s very likely these relationships were manipulative/controlling and sometimes people still have to depend on them because of financial/physical reasons. The best you can do is be there for them and show them kindness and gentleness. Most of us don’t need a knight in shining armor; we just want you to hold our hands while we rescue ourselves #trauma #relationship
