 Depression is something that a lot of autistic people struggle with and I have my own theories around it. I mean just looking at like the life quality statistics like around like bullying and isolation and all the inequalities that we have in the working world it kind of makes sense that overall we will struggle in life. There's also that aspect of anxiety so like when we're highly anxious it tends to play into this thing called the HPA access which is like very very complex things to kind of explain in a short video but when you're very anxious for a long period of time it predisposes you to developing depression. Anyway I've experienced it through for a lot of my life and it's something that I have to deal with quite on a daily basis. I am one of those people who have struggled with mental health for a good portion of my life.
