I'm getting screened for autism this summer and I've read that sometimes symptoms of traumatic strsss can present as signs of autism. Any way I can know which is which? I don't have any trauma but now I'm questioning everything.

Unfortunately no one really knows because there’s no untraumatized autistic ppl, so all autistics have some form of traumatic stress The society we live in is awful for both disorders 😭
