Welcome to TraumatizedAspie.com
Traumatized Aspie aspires to be the world’s first one-stop shop (or website) dealing with complex posttraumatic stress disorder in individuals with diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorders, OR Traumatized Aspies. Topics include:
- causes (is it nature or nurture)
- treatment options for Asperger’s (AS) and Complex PTSD (CPTSD)combined
- common challenges for Traumatized Aspies and how to cope
- recovery stages and how to recognize them
- reports on latest scientific research in plain English

- Personal research findings
Purpose of TraumatizedAspie.com
If trying to have a normal life when you are suffering from PTSD is hard, it is even harder people like us (those with Asperger’s) having to battle with social and communication issues during PTSD therapies too. The short video below will tell you more about how this website can help you, and a little bit more about myself.

What can I do for you?
To My Fellow Traumatized Aspies
Dear Fellow Traumatized Aspies,
Please do not be offended by the name of the website. Just like you, I am a fellow Traumatized Aspie seeking treatment, support and information. I have come a long way in my recovery. I have learnt to be proud of my Traumatized Aspie identity, because I have survived!
OK. I did have very rough times when I was not able to function at all. I also resorted to unhelpful coping mechanisms too. BUT, in time, I have learnt to cope in healthier ways, to communicate my struggles clearly without getting triggered, and I’m delighted to write this letter to you.
I just want you to know that there really is a better life ahead, even if you can’t see it right now. It’s like a child going on a car journey and trying to look through a dirty window to see where he his going. We may not be able to see much right now, but the destination is still there, right? We just need to “clean” the window so to speak.
Easier said than done? Most certainly is! That is why I am creating this website: TraumatizedAspie.com. I want to share helpful information and encouragement so that YOU TOO can have hope, and through hope, the perseverance to build the life that you really want.
BE STRONG: Because you are strong. You’re alive, and that’s living proof.
BE PROUD: Take pride in your achievements, it will keep you going.
BE THE BEST: As and when you do these things, it is only a matter of time that you will be the very best.
So, my dear fellow traumatized aspies: It is my sincere hope that by sharing my “lived experience” and research, YOU TOO can enjoy the life that you want.
Your Fellow Traumatized Aspie,
Mandy
