Being autistic and unable to convey regular neurotypical social cues does cause a lot of distress and sadness for me. Autism doesn't play nice with other conditions and not all of it is well documented. I totally understand, and go through a similar thing. Social things don't go well because of autism Depression pulls me away from them Start thinking it's me who's unable to fit in because I'm just too different to other people because of my autism-- You're definitely not alone with this cycle.
