When Your Body Won't Calm Down: Telling Autistic and Traumatized Nervous Systems Apart

Tell Them Apart - Book Series 2 of 8. Why won't your body just settle? For a lot

of people, the nervous system stays revved up long after the moment has passed -

and the reason matters. In this episode we explore interoception (your inner

body-sense) and how it works differently in autism, how sensory processing keeps

the system activated, and how that differs from a trauma response that keeps the

body braced for threat. We also look at why accommodations help but aren't the

full answer, through one person's shifting sensory world.
