Is it harder for autistic people to know they are getting traumatized? Why?
Everything is traumatizing, so I'm not sure why one sort of being traumatized is going to stick out more than another. OK, not everything, but it's frequently a pretty long list. A bunch of us wind up dissociated pretty hard core from a pretty young age. I literally broke both bones in my left wrist at age 9 and I was already so dissociated that I didn't feel it.
Not sure how it happened, but adrenaline can help quite a bit with not noticing pain in the moment too.
