A recent toot around here made me think about #giftedness and #autism. There's a lot of overlap. As there is between autism and #cPTSD.
So it got me wondering how you know that you're autistic and not, say, gifted and traumatized. Or autistic and traumatized, rather than gifted. Or if it matters at all (we're struggling anyways, aren't we?). Could accomodations and support even be that specific?
What's your take on this?
