Post-traumatic stress disorder and experiences involving violence or sexual abuse in a clinical sample of autistic adults with intellectual.png

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Experiences Involving Violence or Sexual Abuse in a Clinical Sample of Autistic Adults with Intellectual Disabilities: Prevalence and Clinical Correlates

£0.00

Kildahl and Helverschou (2023)

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can happen after scary or overwhelming events like violence or sexual abuse, which autistic people—especially those with intellectual disabilities—are more likely to experience. This study found that while many autistic adults with intellectual disabilities had been exposed to violence or abuse, few were diagnosed with PTSD, suggesting it is often missed. The findings stress the need for better screening and trauma-informed care to support this vulnerable group.

Disclaimer: discusses violence, sexual abuse and trauma.
