I definitely am like that and definitely am autistic.
Did you know autistics not only often struggle to talk to new people, but can also have friends... unlike what many people claim?

To me this sounds like AuDHD, but this is obviously far from a diagnosis and I'm not a professional, I merely have read so much that I sometimes know better (lol)
Jokes aside, try this: https://rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php
It's so far the only online test that gets somewhat close to what a diagnosis would probably say and I've asked diagnosticians and they said it's useful to get a first idea whether to seek a diagnosis, as this mostly looks the same as their questionnaires. Don't forget to save the PDF with the full results at the end or you will have to do it again.
What's it doing that's so helpful?
While the healthcare system certainly has to be improved in many ways, it does not amplify depression in itself.
People can also improve their quality of life in Germany.
Stick to facts, please. Even though this is the internet, yes.
WTF, Germany does not cause people to become depressed.
US government sucks, but that does not mean you suck. You're probably fine. I mean, you know that country is run by idiots, I'd worry more if you were fine with that... Anyway...
If you're taking meds, consider asking a doctor whether the dosage is right, incorrect dosages can lead to feeling depressed. Don't experiment, see a doctor, it's all just brain chemistry and can probably be sorted out. :)
Ansible is my config and documentation in one.
It's reproducible, idempotent and I don't need anything else.
I write all code myself, that makes it even easier to read.
Disability sucks hard
Society arguably sucks harder. Many disabled people (for various disabilities) live their lives happily and are mostly annoyed by the way society treats them.
In what jurisdiction?
Ltt.rs works quite well on Android. Even without a client I'd be glad to have it already, I'm ready when Thunderbird is ready.
Sure, not widely supported, but if you use clients supporting it, it is great. Blazingly fast, while IMAP is always slow.
Also, Thunderbird is working on JMAP support: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/09/state-of-the-thunder-mozilla-connect-updates/
Also, please don't say "have autism", that's painful to read. People might be autistic, but they don't "have" it.
Another thing to avoid: "person with autism" (It is: autistic person)
