Although the mental health system is intended to help and support our autistic clients, it has historically been a source of trauma for autistic people. In fact, autistic individuals who received treatment that is considered “gold standard” are twice as likely to develop PTSD compared to autistics who did not receive this treatment. Clearly, we need system-level changes to ensure we provide appropriate support to our autistic clients.
