I have recently suffered a greatly painful loss of my horse, and ever since then I have seemed to be falling downhill both mentally and physically. My T mentioned in my last session that I was an atypical client and she has been practicing for over 30 years. She also mentioned for the first time she sees a mild form of Autism in me. Among a lot of mental issues (anxiety disorder, depression, possible bipolar, bpd and add), the main things that are bothering me seem to be Autistic related or PTSD. Of course PTSD happens after something traumatic, I am wondering if Autistic symptoms can arise after such a traumatic event also? My T mentioned you must be born with Autism, but can mine have been so mild as a child that only something so traumatic could have made it worse?
