I just wanted to ask anyone who has Autism.  Do any of the people who have Autism get depression? Sorry for interrupting again.

    Heya @Strawberry1, nice to see you again. I hope you've been ok?

    Autism and depression together are very common, the current world isn't designed for the autistic mind, so we often face challenges that can cause us to have to deal with depression, myself included.  

    Is there anything we can do to support you?

    I've tried to answer you @Albus_Scope , don't know why it's not on . It said it needs to be approved.  If it doesn't come on here I will have to try again.  Sorry.

    Hello @Albus_Scope , thank you so much for your support and time I appreciate it so much . I hope you are well yourself. I'm still awaiting an assessment. Your answer has put my mind at ease.  If I need any more help I won't hesitate to ask again.  Once again thank you so much for your help 🙏.  I will try to come back and join in again but it's a big step for me to take.  Thanks again @Albus_Scope.

    And add in every time I've said sorry, I'd probably be a multimillionaire now.  :D

    I've always felt so very different to others . Being in people's company makes me feel so very uncomfortable.  I get visitors from time to time due to them being family I do let them visit but it doesn't mean I feel comfortable when they turn up .

    I signed up for a course for Autism which I've attended before but the last few weeks I've had other issues occurring.  I have emailed the people in charge to asked to be excused and told them the reasons why . Does this make me a terrible person for not being able to attend?

    Not at all @Strawberry1. I'm sure they'll understand that you might need to take some time away from things. It doesn't make you a terrible person :)
