"Femme on the Spectrum," hosted by Elizabeth, explores the significant yet often overlooked link between autism and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Delving into the science behind autism, the episode uncovers how neurodivergent individuals are more susceptible to trauma due to their unique brain processing. Topics such as rejection sensitivity, over-explaining, and experiences of trauma are discussed candidly, with Elizabeth sharing personal anecdotes to illustrate these themes. Furthermore, the episode contrasts narcissist manipulation with misunderstood autistic communication, highlighting the often misinterpreted bluntness of autistic individuals. Finally, the discussion turns to coping strategies for autistic individuals, emphasizing the importance of therapy, mindfulness, and humor, and how these methods can be specifically tailored to individual needs.
