I am telling this because I suffer from depression but once I was too sick and my sickness symptoms got confused with my depression symptoms for some time and that worsened things for me.
In any event, i am pasting a couple of links below that may be of your interest.

Aspergers and Depression: the masking effect (autism spectrum)

I wish I could be more helpful to you.
Good luck with everthing


Yes, my health is fine, other than high testosterone which I've had for a few years. I've had several hormonal tests run on me (thyroid, cortisol) and they're all normal. Estrogen is good too. I had anemia a few years ago but it's good now. I don't have it anymore.

Thank you and thanks for the links
