Understanding Ongoing Traumatic Relationship Syndrome Aka Cassandra Phenomenon
OTRS is a trauma-based syndrome that can affect people who experience chronic repetitive psychological trauma in an intimate relationship in the same way as post-traumatic stress disorder. It differs from the latter in that the trauma is incessant. The mildest forms of trauma when they are repetitive, permanent and of uncertain future duration can cause greater damage. As SA is a disorder for life, many of these men get married and have children. Among their family members, those who do not suffer from AS, known as NT neurotypists, often suffer from psychological trauma when they try to have a close personal relationship with a person with a disability in their interpersonal relationships.
