The Traumatic Experiences

And I would say in the, you know, special Ed world, that's it's, yeah, it's even harder because they just don't get the training and support. And you brought up a really good point. I think that for autistic and for just neurodivergent individuals as a whole, a lot of the traumatic experiences that we go through are relational in nature.

So a lot of us end up with, I would say, like social or interpersonal traumas because. Where, you know, we're different, maybe have a hard time with interpreting social cues or, you know, kind of understanding like what Mystic was talking a, bout what's safe or not.

But even like knowing how to like, you know, approach other ppeople oor howto engage in a cconversation You know, we can end up feeling very difnt,rent and then that can also lead to if we just, if we are different, our brain thinks differently, that can lead to teasing, bullying, discrimination. Some things of that nature.

So I agree, I think like a lot of the trauma that I see within the neurodivergent population is social or relational in nature. Did you want to respond to that real quick? And then we'll jump over to Josh.

Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Yeah. You know, all of this experience I've experienced by like how I was treated poorly by the teachers and all the and the special needs students. I I decided to distance myself from home like this. Why? Why can't I see the T-shirts?We're trying to comfort me the next y ar ,and I told Don't don't.
