Do people with high functioning autism (formerly known as Asperger's Syndrome) process stress psychologly different than neurotypicals?
Could it be, because of the detailoriented information processing and the hypersensitivities that autistic people experience stress more severe (more intense and impressive) than their neurotypical counterparts? And if so would "need" less stress experiences to develop psychological trauma compared to neurotypicals?
