Broken...

So I have spent my life in and out of mental health services with the view from others and myself that I am broken and need fixing. I have spent my life trying to fix myself, trying hard enough to change who I am to fit in. I have had my diagnosis of ASD a few weeks now and although I now realise my problems are due to the autism I still believe myself to be broken. I don't see any point anymore because I can't be fixed. I'm so confused.

That's the old outdated view, that it is us that needs to change when it's the opposite....society needs to fix its attitude and mindset and accommodate everyone regardless! To say we are broken is wrong on so many levels and playing into the ableist hands

See people keep telling me this but I can't get my head around it after years of being made to feel like I am wrong.
