In spite of what the majority thinks. I think it's hard for those of us who have these conditions commorid to our own to vocally verbalize it especially to psychiatrists or people who think they know what they're doing.

Am I wrong?

I don't know where to begin but for a long time I didn't think I'd fit in here due to my depressive disorder. I guess in order for people to understand clinical depression, you have to experience the symptoms yourselves like anything else.

I know that once I got used to the idea I was glad as well. I'm hoping that it will remain a place for people on the spectrum with comorbid conditions, but I do know that it's been a relief to find I'm not the only one.

I know! I didn't like talking to people about depression when I was depressed, as they only did the whole, "Happy smiles!" routine with me. Now, I can find people I can relate to on here!

I'm glad you're glad MissC. I like having you here and it seems sometimes you don't always feel that way. I think of WP as mostly

a vast group therapy. There is no therapist to direct the flow which is nice. I think co-morbids are almost always present with AS.

Clinical depression is neurological I think and stress is a major trigger. Who here doesn't suffer stress from their ASD?

I'm also glad that this place is here. It's been a long time coming.

I needed a place like this for a loooooong time... a place that focuses on Aspies with comorbid mental disorders. Thank whoever had the idea to start this place, if they did so to help us. :D

Yes, I find that I tell my deepest thoughts in my posts on this website than in any psychiatrist's office and people actually understand me here for the first time.

I was at an outside market today where they were selling fresh greens and fruits and I began talking to one of the vendors about how the US Dollar will collapse and that Moody's finally released the official ratings of the US Big Banks to the rest of the world today and they started blankly at me and laughed off my advances. This happens all the time because all I know to say is facts. I can't talk about anything else because I don't know what else there is to talk about - and apparently nobody seems to care what I have to say - ever.
