I think the difference was that C-PTSD is when the person has a long length of trauma due to a long period of abuse or torture. I could be wrong about that one.

Myself I can not remember when I stated showing symptoms. By the second grade I'd become a quiet shelled up child who was too afraid to speak and would break down into tears if I was merely touched. My Aunt told me that my mother found me crying after I got dirt on my hands and wrenched my arm out of its socket as she tried to pull my hands to the sink. That would have to be before I was 5 and my aunt also described other symptoms that she did not realize was anything wrong until much later in life. As far as I can remember I've always been this way. *shrugs*
