Question about autism

Is there a specific relationship between autism and trauma? Specifically, many micro traumas that would amount to a psychological state akin to a trauma response? (Of my understanding anyway, a trauma response would be defined as psychological insecurity, avoidance, fear reactions or elevated stress when near the source of trauma: I also think it's a spectrum of intensity)

In my case, I do have a reaction like my description, albeit small. I am not comparing my situation to someone who experienced Trauma with a big T. And the trauma response is not something I'm familiar with, hence the question.

But what I experience feels like it. (In one specific domain of my life, and I will not divulge it).
