So worried about her

[dannyboy65]

I don't understand... My autism makes it hard for me to feel and understand other peoples emotions. I've had trouble with this issue my whole life, and tonight the girl I love is really depressed. I'm worried sick about her and I feel sad like I am in her shoes. I never really ever felt this way about anyone is this normal?

Yes, that is normal. You love her, so if she is going through a painful time, you feel it too. Her sadness results in your sadness and in your worrying. Right now its probably best just to be there for her. You don't even have to give her advice if you can't find the words, just be there for her.

You're welcome dannyboy. What you're feeling may feel a bit overwhelming or scary because like you said, you've never felt this way about anyone, and its happening all at once, but try not to let that fear talk you into abandoning her.
