I thought this was already pretty widely known

With treatment of my C-PTSD almost all my Asperger syndrome traits vanished. I went from "Very Likely" to "Very Unlikely" on the ASD scale. What happened is how I reacted to the PTSD was to suppress emotions, etc., and that made it look like I had Asperger's Syndrome.
I noticed reading the study, they didn't look at other psychological issues that could cause ASD type answers on tests.

You're likely not Asbergers than, you're likely Schizoid. Which is similar, but more behavior.

A med student I know told me that often people with gender dysphoria have eating disorders (trying to get the body they want- seeming more girly but not eating, seeming more manly by working out loads, or again not eating to avoid curves etc) which starves the area of the brain which does social interactions, making them seem autistic.
Idk if it's true it was just one study, but it's interesting.

official diagnosis for insurance was PTSD, but therapist says I had C-PTSD.
Good thing I'm only mildly autistic but not autistic enough to be diagnosed with Asperger.
Life is too good. I sometimes feel like autism made me gay and that if I didn't have atypical autism I wouldn't be such a faggot...
