Autism

I don't know if it helps, but for myself when I'm wrestling with low emotions I try and focus on the more academic knowledge that autism often comes with experiencing emotions at the extremes. That the default is usually 100% ok or feeling literally 100% bad. That whole world of grey in between is so unnatural when wired to go all or nothing. And I know that might come across and be recieved as a sarcastic "well thanks, im cured.. " and I know that doesn't make the emotions any less significant or less real or less crap. But for myself I try and attach to that more academic understanding to get me through it. Thats what I try anyway, and try to communicate to my son who is also on the spectrum. Hang in there. We're all just throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks really.
