I don't feel accepted and supported, I just feel defective, judged by everyone, and guilty for what I've done to my family. I know we're all entitled to our opinions and feelings, and that we all think differently, but I just really don't understand why some autistic people 'celebrate' it and think it's OK to be autistic when I honestly don't think there is anything less OK in the entire world, particularly when you're a woman and it's such a man's condition. I often feel my strong sense of identity as a female is being stolen from me.
Pragmatism. If you have a life long condition with no course of treatment and no cure you can either hate hate hate it and marinade yourself in anger and self-loathing or accept it and attempt to salvage your self-worth and keep on living. Abandon your ideas of gendered illnesses. Autism effects human brains, end of.
'xac'ly!
