Has anyone explored what seems to be a possible way out of autism's negative effects for some. I recently viewed a documentary explaining much about this but can't seem to include its link, but the below links will give some idea.

Autism doesn't have negative effects.
Having to live in a society that does not understand us or accommodate our needs has negative effects.
You can't blame depression, fear, stress, burnout, and the whole other gamut of negative emotions to be caused by society, that may have some influence to aggravate such events but hardly blame society for them.
My depression and anxiety stem from real negative interactions that I have had, and the exclusion that I have experienced because other people do not understand how I communicate or process things.
When I have been in the company of other neurodivergent people, I have had many more positive interactions and connections and emotions.
So I can absolutely say that a lack of general acceptance in society causes the negative effects. That is different from "blaming" which has a great deal of negative and emotive connotations. I'm not saying that individuals are bad people for this, it's just the way society currently is and by raising representation and awareness, acceptance can come in the future.
