Dr. Connor Kerns<\/a> discusses research on the prevalence, sources, and impact of traumatic experiences in autistic people. She underscores the prevalence of childhood adversity in autistic groups and highlights the need for more research in this area. The presenter details recent investigations on the drivers and indicators of trauma reactions in autistic children and young adults. Results show autism-specific sources and representations of trauma that can inform assessment and care development. Kerns touches on the Childhood Adversity and Social Stress Questionnaire (CASSQ) and other ongoing research before the Q&A.<\/span><\/p>\n
