>>107556375>It is not efficient (or healthy) to mask and bottle things up until you feel like it's the "right time" to sob.Yes it is. You don't let your emotions overtake you and spill out when you're trying to do your job and interact with others, and you don't bottle up your emotions for 20 years until you snap and blow someone's head off. You set your feelings aside temporarily and then release them at a time when it's more appropriate.
>It is not normal for a person to have a portion of their day regularly occupied by intense feelings of sadness.It is if you live in a slum in California and someone stole your car and your boss is stealing hours, days from your life by forcing you to be his friend or someone stole sensitive information from their company to find out where you live or put you in danger at a convention you were at or your dad is in critical condition in the hospital from a heart problem and needs to travel across the country for special care. She has every right to have time for herself where she can process her feelings.
>Other autismSee the first point. She sets aside her sadness so she can stream because being with her audience and making them smile makes her happy, and when she's alone she lets out her sadness so it doesn't bog her down. She has masterful control over her emotions.
