I’m INCREDIBLY nihilistic. I just don’t see the point in anything. Is this a common trait in autists?

    Exactly. Nihilism is a philosophy—a cognitive approach to understanding the world. It doesn’t mean that nothing in the world has value to me. Rather, I recognize that nothing has intrinsic value. I am the one who must assign value to things. If you can’t see or feel any value in things, that isn’t nihilism. In that case, you have an emotional problem, such as depression.
