Husband is autistic

NAS66614

Good afternoon. I will introduce myself properly later but I am at my wits end. My husband is autistic and suffers from anxiety and depression. He was attending therapy but obviously that has been stopped. While all this uncertainty is going on, his anxiety and depression is getting out of control. I have experience as a care worker for autistic adults but I am out of ideas. Has anyone got any advice? Thankyou in advance. X

  • Hi - do you know what's causing his anxiety?      Is it over real stuff or imaginary/unlikely potential disasters?   

    We often get diagnosed as depressed because a lot of NTs misjudge our rock-hard logic and realism and talking honestly about negative facts as depression - they project how *they* would feel in the same circumstances.
