I actually have both PTSD and autism. I agree there is some overlap. One key difference is PTSD is caused by a traumatic event where autism is something people are born with. You could very well have both as I do. Have you considered seeing either a trauma specialist or an autism specialist to see if they can more easily differentiate? Someone with more experience may be better than just a general therapist.
