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?Albus (he/him)

Just seen a notice saying my post will be popped on here once it's been approved.

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.

No it keeps appearing but it not letting it be published.

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.

I also have Asperger and depression and anxiety @Strawberry1
But I have been heavily medicated for years without a break. Which helps those things. But changed my personality a bit. I use to be spunky and fun on the outside. -

Bless you so much @Ada , I'm filling up here . Your such a lovely person 💕

Nice of you to say @Strawberry1 but I’m really not. I’m a bouncer. I bounce off how folk treat me. I’m not lovely to nastiness. But you are warm and gentle.
-
I apologise for my late reply @Ada , you are a lovely person. Please don't put yourself down. Your a good person who is caring. Please take care of yourself. Sending hugs.

That’s very kind of you @Strawberry1 How Are You
