I'm not sure whether I agree entirely with this message, but the issue for me is depression. In my case the depression is together with anxiety, which is not uncommon in autistic men. I had a chat with the woman yesterday. She said that the other day, she'd spoken with a psychologist who specialises in autism. He told her that autists experience anxiety and depression differently to 'normal' people. Ours is apparently much more extreme and debilitating than it is for other people. I didn't realise that. Perhaps I'm not coping so badly after all.
