This sounds so much like my adult daughter. Every mental heath professional we’ve seen has given us a laundry list if diagnoses! PTSD, borderline personality disorder, OCD, depression, separation disorders, attachment disorders. … On and on. Physicians want to throw pills at her. All of which have horrible side effects! Most made her have tremors so violently that she almost bit off the tip of her tounge! Shes a beautuful young woman and amazing artist! But shes trapped in herself! This is the first thing we’ve seen that seems to round everything together to describe her! Thank you! Being armed with knowledge will take us a long way towards dealing with this! I truly can’t thank you enough for opening your life and sharing your pain with us! I can’t imagine it was easy! Bless you for it!

I know exactly how you feel. I have depression as well as Aspergers and it sucks.
Hi Kristy
Unfortunately, I think that most of us on the autistic spectrum are likely to get depression.
How are you coping with it?
Steve
With medication, and also by writing in my journal a lot
Hi Kristy
I think that is a good way of dealing with things actually.
Have you tried meditation? this can go well with keeping a journal. It can really help to feel more positive.
Regards, Steve
I haven’t tried meditation. Do you know of any ideas?
