Can Trauma Make Asperger’s Worse?

Please forgive my admittedly edgy attitude. I find it hard not to feel this way. I feel this way every time yet another well-meaning Quora person asks yet another question which in effect perpetuates the view that Asperger’s is medical brokenness.

Will stress and or trauma distort and exaggerate the personality of a person with Asperger’s? Duh. Do bears do their business in the woods? The real question is, what healthy person is not affected this way by stress and trauma? Anyone at all?

Please try to see people with Asperger’s as folks with minority personalities. Not flawed or defective personalities. Minority personalities. Yes, to neurotypicals, things we do and say can and often do seem odd. But things neurotypicals often seem that way to us.
