You are the best at explaining and sorting this stuff out 🏆 I have repetitive thought processes about trying to decide exactly what types of symptoms I am experiencing and if it's really a "symptom" or if I'm just a horrible person. These little snippets are super helpful and validating. 🩷Thank you for your work.

Oh my goodness I feel like you just unlocked a whole world of research for me. I’ve never been able to so clearly say the difference between depression and burnout for me but you just said it!!

I'm an AuDHDer, who is also Bipolar with a mood/anxiety disorder; OCD, and C-PTSD. I'm homeless, living in a minivan. I am CONSTANTLY STRESSED; OVERSTIMULATED, etc...I deal with depression....I can relate to BOTH of what you're saying, as I experience them BOTH.

I wish I had known all of this. I wish I had known I was autistic. My now ex husband was screaming at me all the time. I could not find another escape than suicide which I failed. When I came home, screaming was more often, louder, overwhelming and more terrifying. I went to anyone and everyone in our church and BEGGED them to stop him screaming at me and help me be SAFE.

The therapist told me I was lazy and to get a job, my "friend" told me to read my bible more and find my sin. She also claimed I was demon possessed and delusional. My daughters told me they would not help. No one did anything.

His screaming affected my work and I completely collapsed. If one can go into autistic burnout and the deepest of dark depression at once they did it.

I am a predators dream and Christians pounce on people like me. They never helped me feel safe and mocked me instead.

If I could have any day back it is the day I failed suicide but I would succeed. Every day now with no resources or support is terrifying. I am nothing, invisible. I don't matter. Can one be burned out and depressed to the point that nothing matters, especially one's self?

This is amazing. I have a different neuro-issue, but I can relate to this so well.

I've noticed unexplainable headaches with my depression and explainable headaches with my autism because it comes from burnout and over stimulation

[sarahwhittle]

For me it is alcohol! Both me, my husband, both of my kids and my grandchildren are autistic. I’m sure my teachers back in the 70s knew I was autistic. But it took until I was in my 50s to be diagnosed. So now I have an alcohol problem. Alcohol helps me to cope. But I tend to overthink everything. A trip to the shops, filling up my car, speaking to the Amazon driver! Masking is exhausting! So at home I live in PJs, watch tv, do jigsaws, watch tv shows I’ve already watched dozens of times. Bliss!

Can you do a guest appearance on the longest running Australian children's program Play School on the ABC? Is there's a dress code for appearing on Play School

I sought out being diagnosed because prior treatment for depression did not work because they treated a symptom, not the root cause. I also wanted to know what it wasn't so I can obtain the proper help that addresses the source as well as providing temporary relief from the symptoms.

[maxleong]

oh if i could even understand my own issues between meltdowns and shutdowns. because i have unexplainable aches that doctors can't find fault with. don't get me started with gut issues. i thought it was the food i had, turns out it's only me 💀

[visionvixxen]

I wonder if lots of rapid or ultra rapid cycling or whatever is really meltdowns

[bobsoldrecords]

I'm Autistic & have clinical depression.

[slimsonite]

FINALLY understanding why I've had many migraines in my life when doctors had no answers and just throw pills at you. Keep those pills you schmucks. I just needed to get the hell away from people, drama and stress and bust out the self care tools

Hey Orion, I’m from Sydney. Please help me to make the right decision for my 5 year old son. So, he has autism, has words, uses words most of the time but has classic symptoms of autism so this year was his year to go to kindergarten, I guess it called prep in Victoria, anyway, he ended up being in an intellectual disability support unit with 6 other kids that are all older than him and are almost teenagers and are all nonverbal. I am not seeing any progress in his development, his behaviour or his social or communication skills at all, all I can see in regression. He’s been super emotional and depressed lately. How things are in Victoria? Do they have a different approach about autism?
I am considering moving to Victoria to help my kid. Things are not good for him here at all. Don’t get me wrong, it might be good for a 12 year old nonverbal kid but not for a 5 year old verbal kid. There’s no role model for him, not much interaction or integration going on. This is not at all suitable for everyone.
Can you please explain how things were for Conan when he first went to school.
I appreciate it very much.
