>>50770684>Try bothIncorrect. Being extremely depressed and extremely autistic are actually mutually exclusive. What happens is that opioid hocking frauds with licenses expand the list of autistic traits until everything that isn't seen in the normal cast of a Disney channel sitcom can count, and depression has a ton of overlap with the modern symptoms. In the current world depressed people have two main methods of coping and they switch between them. Distraction and hyperfixation, and these can and will eventually overlap. Distraction is stuff like videogames, work, autopilot stuff, but that only lasts so long until the autopilot is good enough that they don't offer enough distraction anymore. Hyperfixation is a much better method and it's also an overlapping sign of autism but not in the way people want to believe. Clasically, autistic hyperfixation is people fixating on one thing, and that same thing, over and over and over. It's not like "I like trains so I'm going to learn all about trains," it's "I like this one train, this single train ever, I love this one train and don't care about other trains." That second one is autistic hyperfixation but the first is just a coping mechanism for depression. Depression also had its definition expanded greatly, mostly to include a general lack of motivation but a lot of that is also about diet. Eat creatine and 6 ounces of costco chicken, then learn to ice sculpt. People don't have motivation to do things cause they're too demoralized to find anything interesting, that isn't depression, that's a lack of passion and energy. Become gravely injured, go through a crisis, it'll help. Just don't take the meds, they only numb you, they don't solve the problem.
