Neurodivergence Related Trauma

For a variety of reasons, being neurodivergent in some way is associated with many different traumatic experiences. The trauma is sometimes institutional, as in occurring in a school setting or mental health setting, etc. Sometimes the trauma is interpersonal, as in within a family or social group. Something that commonly needs to be addressed in therapy is trauma associated with existing in a world that wasn’t made for you, or is often hostile to your experience.
