[quote=Anonymous]I’m neuropsych poster. I have an autistic child and other autistic teen family members - one of which sounds similar to OP’s kid. A child with “just depression” symptoms should be treated differently than a child with autism that is displaying similar behaviors. If there is “just depression” - then the right medication and support hasn’t been found yet and this should be pursued. If it’s “just ADHD and depression,” I would say something similar. Unfortunately, as you know, if ASD is involved - nothing is simple and medications may not work. Are you familiar with autistic burnout? https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/professional-practice/autistic-burnout Which is NOT depression. If your child is liable to this, expectations need to change and so does the treatment. Preferably, with a therapist with autism experience. Unfortunately, they are hard to find. [/quote]
