I know NT can get depression, can Aspie get more depression? I think I read that. I also know Aspie cannot handle things like NT can, I know NT can think about suicide if they are depressed. I’m wondering if Aspergers think about suicide more. I know it’s a very very hard time right now with the coronavirus, but Aspie have something that NT don’t have, Aspie have mental health problems. With the virus, NT have more depression, they can go to therapist, but people still complain about staying home & can’t go to bars, restaurants, hair salon & to more stuff, but they still lucky than other people. Aspie are staying home with mental health problems. Other people are not so lucky with Cerebral Pasly that cannot walk. I’m not lucky, I have Cerebral Pasly, Aspergers, Psoriasis, Dyslexia, intelligence disability & maybe more that I don’t know, right now, I cannot walk too good, I have too much pain in my feet & lower legs. So I cannot clean my apartment & take out my trash, I cannot go to the laundry room near my apartment, so that why I’m depressed. I’m useless now, I’m no good, I cannot do anything anymore. People have different strengths too, with everything I got, I’m not strong.

I'm sorry you have all the problems you have, of course everyone is susceptible to depression and think of suicide etc.
I am riddled with depression as are many people and have attempted suicide many times. Recently just moved house and nothing is getting done, put away etc but i'm sure it will eventually. things creep up on us in life and in my instance I didn't realise how much of a sturuggle living independently would be, least i forgot as last time for the 7 or so months i was mostly working and had routine and seemed as if i was coping ok for the most part except in reality i wasn't. so having support is very important. you are not alone and i hope you feel better soon.
