If you're saying autism is a form of mental illness, it truly isn't. Autistic individuals can't understand facial expressions if a person feels depressed, happy or angry. Not many autistics understand voice tones. So when an autistic person is talking to someone, they can't tell if that person is getting tired of listening to them or even if they're in a middle of a conversation or if that person doesn't feel like having a chat. Just say in a nice way "I don't feel like talking." or "I'm not in a good mood to talk."
