    Forcing a square peg into a round hole is soul crushing.

    In that same vein, being a round peg in a square hole, nominally "fitting," but being constantly hounded to fill in all of the corners all at once all of the time is exhausting.

    They can, and do, but that's not exactly what i was getting at.

    I was saying that a (hypothetical) person, completely free of autistic traits can acquire traits very similar to how autism is expressed purely through CPTSD experience.

    I fully agree that you can get ASD + CPTSD for the extra special double dose of the fun times, but it's possible to have one without the other.
