Copied from this thread and following posts moved I'm not sure of the formal evidence, but it does seem to be recognised by the NHS that CBT needs to be adapted for autistic people. However, antidotally I know a number of autistic peers who have been left traumatised by it.

Preliminary but interesting. Autism has been researched far more than ME and somehow this had been missed entirely. I would really like to see research done on post-mortem ME brains and spinal cords. This is the reason the researchers named this disease and there doesn't seem to have been any...
