Program Description:

Autism incidence numbers are on the rise, and trauma is an inextricable part of the autism experience for many on the spectrum. Maltreatment, bullying, social rejection, exploitation, etc., are all part of the experience for many, all within the context of a sensitive nervous system with perhaps a narrower window of stress tolerance. In this interview, autism researcher Katherine Reuben addresses the intersection of autism and dissociation, which is her special research interest. Other stressors will be discussed including challenges of transitioning from state to state, demand avoidance, alexithymia, monotropism, and research challenges.

The topic is especially important for those trauma informed therapists seeking to help this population process through and learn from traumatic life experiences. Both interviewer and interviewee are on the spectrum themselves, (Level 1 and Level 2, respectively), which adds depth and understanding to the experience for the viewer.
The interview is part of Sandra Paulsen, Ph.D., autism series with the Steve Frankel Group, LLC.

 

Goals & Objectives:

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

  1. Define five common sources of trauma for children on the spectrum.
  2. List four common sources of trauma for adults on the spectrum.
  3. Describe an empirical approach that may help distinguish somatic dissociation/alexithymia from autistic alexithymia.
