Yes and that is what I addressed here:

"Yes, your right except the "misrepresentation" came from my not completely reading Gabor Maté who argues our society as a whole has a traumatizing effect. From Wikipedia:

"He has also spoken about how the rise in bullying, ADHD and other mental disorders in American children are the result of current societal conditions e.g. a disconnected society and "the loss of nurturing, non-stressed parenting." That is, we live in a society where for the first time in history, children are spending most of their time away from nurturing adults. He asserts that nurturing adults are necessary for healthy brain development."

I do not buy his argument complete because when faced with vast changes in environment humans adapt although it isn't overnight."

His point is we all face trauma. My point which is rethinking "most MI" is that we adapt and therefore not everybody is affected by trauma. The original quote came out of his work.

I then go on...

"It is possible our best survival skill. I do think the neurobiological connection he has been researching is important to understanding all MI, however. For that I wouldn't dismiss his research as "insulting" at all. It just says we are holistic beings. What seems more important to me to me is being able to differentiate developmental differences between trauma affected people and MI without major childhood trauma.

Trauma and PTSD seems like the best place to look at these kind of connections because actual event(s) can be identified. There are so many other related correlations that have been made that I couldn't even begin to go into them. This link that I posted earlier talks specifically about neurobiological changes in relation to PTSD. It is really focusing on treatment but there are som paragraphs that discuss it."

Actually this should say "For that I wouldn't dismiss his research as "insulting" in entirety. Not "at all".

Then
"The causal connection shown in the study between MI and trauma... It suggests that dealing with the trauma as both a neurobiological cause and root cause is key in understanding the MI which is also a result. >To your point< autism does seem like something that is probably naturally occurring and a result of trauma or events. That would make the whole "bucket" problematic."

Which is effectively what you are saying here except I am using autism as an example.

"Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and behavioral disorders can go either way iirc..."

Temple Grandin is an example of somebody without childhood trauma but there are plenty of examples where the two seem strongly related. I bet the bucket gets split someday.

Btw, ios seems to correct my phrases into new meanings. Sometimes the phrases are completely absurd but other times it seems to think it knows what I am trying to say but gets it totally wrong and I don't catch it. Bizarro.
