its a side effect in a sense that autism makes you alienated from society and social circles and makes you very lonely in life. then that loneliness creates long term ever lasting depression, which it would if your alone and only have yourself and your own thoughts to keep you company while everyone else is joyous and happy with their big social circles and having such a great life together with others lol
its not autism that causes it, but its autism that causes the feeling of being excluded and alienated from society and that exclusion is what causes depression and a feel that life is utterly without any meaning for you.
and then you get these other movements like LGBT claiming they are oh so oppressed and excluded and you cant help but ask.... how are they? they are a sexuality, that means they have their own group and have gotten close enough with others to know their sexuality with others lol which in turn is probably what makes autistic people outspoken on the internet which then gets us banned from everywhere for hurting peoples feelings when were only pointing out bullshit all the time and how these other groups are lying and are not excluded at all and if they want exclusion examples they should come here to us and see true exclusion.
In the autistic community there are more LGBTQ people than there are in the general population. People in the LGBTQ community have lots of problems just like autistic people whether ND or NT.
