Living with PTSD on the Autism Spectrum by Lisa Morgan

Living with PTSD on the Autism Spectrum by Lisa Morgan

An examination of PTSD within the autistic population. Combining lived experience alongside professional expertise, the authors uncover the reasons why this co-morbidity is so prevalent and set out guidelines for the most effective methods of care for individuals undergoing treatment.

Dual diagnosis of autism with trauma is under-researched, widely misunderstood, and yet a common presentation in clinics around the worldLisa and Mary's book, being based on current research, lived experience and a successful therapeutic relationship, fills a large gap in the literature. I highly recommend this book to anyone in the autism field, including autistic individuals who have experienced trauma, and their loved ones. -- Dr Michelle Garnett - Clinical Psychologist and Autism Consultant
