if i can't feel or show emotions does it mean i have autism or depression?!


Question: If i can't feel or show emotions does it mean i have autism or depression?
i'm 14, female and..well it's exactly what the question says. i also have selective mute and had it since i was little around 6. i knew i had selective mute b/c once at school my dad had a file that had that written on it for a teacher and before i saw that i looked it up and i had the signs. but my parents never told me that i had any type of disorder or anything i found out on my own.

but for autism i'm not sure if i have it. i just can't feel anything. and when i rarely do i never show it and i've been doing that for a long time. but i also lack interest in anything and don't care about anything. i don't even care if i die. i usually just lie in bed all day or go on the internet. so i could be depressed.
so can anyone give me a reason why i'm like this?

If this is the case, that you saw that in your file, plus have no feelings, you might be entitled to free counseling in school. Your parents would have to sign a form to have you evaluated. I wouldn't jump to conclusions, as they must do an entire case study. What is in your record is supposed to be confidential. Maybe, it is time to call for a family meeting and express your concerns and your knowledge to your parents. It is nothing to be ashamed about, and the help will be free.



I would honestly have to say that would be deppression when i was growing up i was raised with no dad poor living enviroment my mom was barly around and my brother would beat me up i never cryed smiled laughed anything until i was 13 i was so depressed i hated life. but i got rid of certain things that damaged me and now its still hurts but atleast im ok what doesnt kill yah makes you stronger.
