I find your work so interesting and I'm fascinated with the neuroscience your describing. I've been sitting with a metaphorical framework describing a lot of the things you're finding proof of; the actual wiring. My curiosity lies where you seen to have been wired this way organically, whereas I think some people have their wiring changed into sublease patterns through trauma and micro trauma.
Thanks so much! You're right, the relationship between neurocognitive wiring and trauma is there. Trauma is trauma. With that said, neurodivergence and the related phenomenology can intensify trauma or change the meaning of it more drastically. And trauma, including years of little-T trauma, are often the result of years of being misunderstood or shamed as a neurodivergent (or trauma-recovering) person.
They both often create false meanings (that can be unmasked) and stronger sensitivities to the world as a result of their past.

Thank you for sharing your journey!

We also hang together in the same circles. 🍻
Also thank you for looking past my typos 😅 Apologies for making you translate them.
No worries. Context over perfection. 😉
