Cos talking therapies local to me always aimed at anxious teenagers. Alot are wasting NHS time. While adults either have to attempt suicide or pay for their therapy cos teenagers blocking it in NHS with stupid bullshit!

thats it in a nutshell :)

When you say linked together yes they usually are, this is because in most cases they do go together, but not always - they don't have to be diagnosed together. They can be coded separately or together. 

Ok then. Is depression always linked to anxiety(as NHS always group together as if both the same)? I don't think so even if NHS wanna give same drugs for both!

There is never, ever going to be a correct answer to this question. Ever  No one knows the answer...

Its a co-morbid of autism so is anxiety  for example. You dont always get it it but you have a higher probability of getting have  either anxiety or depression or both

My opinion is that we are judged as depressed because of our open way of talking about negative subjects - apparently, NTs hide this side of their life - so we *must* be depressed.       Classic projection from the GP.

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.
