Are there different criteria for assessing trauma in people with autism and intellectual disability?

There are specific considerations that are not currently included in diagnostic manuals. The symptoms are the same, but they are often easily masked by other symptoms or characteristics. There is a wonderful book by Isabel Paula called *Complex Trauma in Autism: The Urgency of Sensitive Intervention* (Alianza Publishers), which I highly recommend.
