  • Thanks so much for posting this, it makes  a lot of sense to me. I am watching a TedX talk by Monique Botha - she is is doing wonderful work to expose the real reasons for the prevalence of anxiety and depression among autistic people, and she is autistic. Found this TedX talk by Monique on YouTube which is brilliant (please note the risk of suicide is discussed but in a very sensitive way): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NCAErePScO0 The talk starts with an overview of what autism is, her discussion of mental health and autism starts at about 9:22
