I don’t have autism but depression strongly tied with social interactions and how I’m perceived. Also being bullied a lot didn’t help regarding being paranoid about people laughing at me cause it was true in school and high school.
Well, while at university I was seeing a psychiatrist cause depression and told her that I also felt like shit because I felt that everyone was making fun of me.
She quickly jumped and asked “Do you hear voices too?” completely preoccupied.😅
I had to assure her that no, I did not hear voices.
I have a funny anecdote.
