I totally relate to your looking at your trauma in childhood and a diagnosis of Autism in adulthood. The psychologist Who diagnosed me as autistic had experience of working as a family trauma therapist and has a phd in Autism. She mentioned she was aware of my traumatic childhood while seeing how I meet the criteria for autism. She recognised also that Autism unidentified brings a lot of trauma into a young life. So I was experiencing trauma in the family home and also in the social world.

Yup, that’s very relatable 👍

Thank you for explaining all this. Stay strong. What you have talked about, the continual wearing down of self belief and self accomplishment by my parents. I was fed and clothed but there was no comfort, physical love, hugs has left me with inferiority complex, severe social issues. I have very few friends and feel lost.
