Autism is not a mental health problem. It's a developmental disorder.
Okay, so autism doesn't generally make one feel "insane", feeling "sick" and "crazy" inside the head, and retreating into complete isolation everyday? How about strange perceptual feelings and experiences about one's body and about the world? eg. feeling rather pecular and freaked out to be a human and have a brain inside your head... strange reality/world perceptions.
Well you could look into depersonalization/derealization.......neither of those are disorders but they are symptoms that can exist with more than one disorder. But yeah depersonalization is when you feel kind of detatched from yourself and maybe wierd about yourself..and derealization is when you feel sort of detatched from the world which can make your perceptions of reality a bit strange.
I get that a lot.......though chances are its more related to my depression, anxiety and PTSD then having AS in my case.
