The relationship between autism and PTSD has historically been neglected in research and understanding but impacts the lives of many. Autistic people are intrinsically vulnerable to traumatic social situations and relationships, which can later manifest as PTSD. Navigating situations where one feels entirely at odds can lead seemingly commonplace events to be processed as traumatic experiences. In this unique collaboration, Lisa Morgan and Mary Donahue explore PTSD in autistic adults as patient and practitioner. Lisa shares her personal experiences as an autistic adult, reflecting on emotionally traumatic events and their effect on her daily life. Mary examines the challenges surrounding diagnosis, reworking and developing communication and clarifying the symptoms of PTSD within the autistic population. Combining lived experience with professional expertise, this clear and accessible guide will provide a better understanding of autism and PTSD, providing support and direction to autistic adults processing trauma and those involved in their care.

A lot of this book reads like a 101 primer for young students or newbies, and not actually like a book for practitioners, or even for people with ASD/PTSD - the first 90 pages (yes really, and the bulk of the book is only 235 pages) are spent defining ASD and PTSD before ever exploring both at the same time, and a surprising amount (30 pages) is spent on recognising abusive relationships in ASD, but…that’s not what the book claims to do on the cover or in the blurb. So all in all, less than half the book actually deals with ASD PTSD in clients, and techniques to assist them and left me feeling a bit let down. ( )
