Autism is a neurological condition that affects how the person sees the world. As someone who is autistic myself I say that I see the world differently to how other people do. Sometimes it can take me a while to process information and what other people say. I also struggle with communication too as well. It also means that I need a little extra help with certain tasks day to day too. I guess with physical hurt I think its the idea behind releasing the stress or tension in a person's life even though at the time it may not be a healthy release or response.

I would say that not all autistic people are violent and each person will vary on the spectrum. I think that the reason why most people think neurodiverse people are violent is because sometimes we can get very stressed and triggered by certain things which may cause us to lash out even though we don't mean to. I think everyone is different in ways. Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have any more questions or thoughts as I am happy to help out ,

Sending hugs,

This is an interesting question, and I think Amy explained it very well.
From what people say that autism is like, I suspect that I too have autism. Though I'd consider myself the opposite of 'violent' haha. I personally think it depends on the person as everyone is different. Autism could (and probably does) play part in the way a person thinks, but I'm sure there are many violent people who are not autistic. Depends how you look at it I guess.

Hey @ellie2000, I'm glad to hear you're okay! Here's some answers to the questions you had, in addition to what's been said above by others:

- Autism is a lifelong developmental condition which affects how some people communicate and interact with the world. You can find out more about it through the National Autistic Society: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/what-is-autism
- When we're feeling emotionally hurt or vulnerable, people can respond in many ways. Some of these are constructive, others are more destructive. Physical pain may be a coping mechanism to distract from the emotional pain, though it should be noted that it doesn't actually help or resolve the underlying issue, and isn't a constructive response/solution to dealing with emotional pain.
- On the parents' path, it may simply be that your parents don't want you to live the life they did. Often, that comes from a good place - they may have faced significant hardships in life, and don't want you to go through those. Either way though, what you do with your life is your decision, and you can pay as much attention to their advice as you feel best.
- Clinical depression is another way of saying "major depression", and is a term used by medical professionals (such as the NHS) to indicate when a person shows sufficient signs to meet their criteria of clinical depression. The NHS describes clinical depression as such: "Most people go through periods of feeling down, but when you're depressed you feel persistently sad for weeks or months, rather than just a few days."
- Medication is best done through a medical professional, who fully understand the uses and consequences of different types of medication. In contrast, self-medication is very risky and can cause harm if not administered by a medical professional. It's always best to work with a health professional, such as your GP, when considering medication.

Hope that answers your questions!
