What are the mechanistic Challenges of Stress and Trauma on systems that are already Bio-energetically compromised as a result of maternal immune activation?

Val's Take/Conjecture:

• There are so many factors that can multiply the effects of Bio-Energetically compromised systems as in Neurodevelopmental and Psychiatric Disorders as a result of Maternal Immune Activation.
• Neuro-Diverse folks have a harder time with Stress and Trauma because our Bio-Energetic Baseline is already compromised.
  
• That Stress and "Trauma" --- whether Physical or Emotional --- is not just piling on in an "additive" way --- it's being processed through "BI-DIRECTIONAL FORWARD FEEDBACK LOOPS" that are "SYNERGISTIC" and I would say multiplying.
  

• On top of that, if that BIOENERGETIC LOAD gets too heavy --- there may be some "MALADAPTIVE SYNAPSE TRIAGING."

• This a Mechanistic Way of looking at something that feels extremely PERSONAL.

• BUT if we don't figure out a way to EXPAND or LIVE WITHIN our BIO-ENERGETIC LIMITS --- we're going to be in a world of hurt.

• Public and Professional Education on this could really help so people are less likely to get into a DANGER ZONE --- and ACCOMMODATIONS can be "reasonably made and tailored" --- while not having to RE-INVENT THE WHEEL.

Failing to stay within bioenergetic limits is dangerous because it simultaneously drives disease pathogenesis, amplifies symptom severity, and narrows the brain's capacity to meet the energetic demands of cognition and stress adaptation.
