Paranoia isn’t a symptom I’ve ever heard of with autism, however that doesn’t mean they aren’t linked. I personally never dealt with paranoia, but my Autism does exasperate my emotions. I have never had a reason to feel paranoid, but when I get angry I have big outbursts, and I often can’t feel the difference between excitement and anxiety. I would suggest talking to a doctor about your paranoia.

All the time I feel like I have autism + borderline but my counselor insists it's just my bipolar. I've ruined all my relationships because I find it really hard to communicate my emotions and I feel like when I'm in a relationship I feel like I'm constantly being judged and punished.
Paranoia isn't really a symptom of autism, but of other more serious mental illness.
I'm currently 19 and it's becoming more difficult to handle everything sorry for the rambling but yeah
It doesn't even have to be for any reason or anything going on it just kinda happens and than I shut myself in
Yeah like high periods of anxiety for no reason and just being afraid over everything or the idea that something could go work
That could be it, I get very sensory overloaded at times and it clashed with that and it makes it a lot worse and I've been struggling on how to manage it
I wouldn’t go to paranoia, but I do get high anxiety. Do you mean just randomly for an extended period of time you feel paranoid?
ohh!! okay that makes way more sense, sorry!! i don't personally experience that, but maybe its like,,, a delayed meltdown? or little things that you don't even really notice piling up until it's overwhelming without knowing why ?
No no that isn't what I mean in some areas I get very paranoid even though I don't have any kind of paranoia diagnosis, which confuses me if any other autistic gets rly bad emotional outbursts at times for no reason I can't rly word rn bc it's late
im not really sure what u mean ? paranoia and autism are separate things and you don't stop being autistic at any point? like. for example i have psychotic episodes but i dont have autistic episodes bc i am always autistic. and i have paranoia, but its unrelated to my autism (it may be related to how i've been treated differently bc of autism, but im not sure about that gdjdh)
