Suppose someone with comorbid bipolar disorder and autism (high-functioning). I'm trying to figure out how both disorders could influence each other. I.e. how would the autism affect the presentation of (hypo)mania and depression? And could the bipolar have an effect on how autistic symptoms manifest? I realize this will differ from person to person and that the autism spectrum is broad, but I'm just trying to get a high-level idea. Are there any people here with relevant experience in this?
