Some love being autistic, I personally feel neutral about it most of the time and sometimes negative.
Here you can share your struggles and dislike for autism.
I'm gonna share too, though I'm sleep deprived right now and might seem drunk lol.
I wish I was not different on so many levels including autism. I wish I had friends or liked socializing. I wish I didn't struggle with lying and such. I wish people would stop telling me I'm rude or I should smile or whatever, I haven't hurt anyone by my face, leave me be! I wish I didn't have autism inertia and could be more in sync with the world. Wish I didn't get tired so easily.
Guess that's it for now, huh?
Also, wanted to say that just the act of sharing and being listened to has helped me multiple times on this website, sharing things I had never shared, so thank you!
i totally understand what you mean! there is things i love about being autistic, but some things i wish i didn't struggle with.sound and volume is definitely what i struggle with the most. not even headphones or earbuds like loops or calmer have helped me 100%. some days, it's more manageable - but other days, i will need to isolate from everybody. it's a very lonely thing to experience - and i don't wish on anybody.kind of a tangent - but i also just don't like how i'm treated by others, in general. the apathy is crazy! it's a horrible feeling trying to explain to someone your lived experience, but they just don't care enough to understand, or accept you being autistic. i don't think i'll ever be able to understand how they can do that.
People's lack of curiosity is soul-crushing.
They may just be uncomfortable or unsure about prying into some else’s condition.
Yes, I think this is true for some people, though others are just not interested in learning about autism. Before I knew I was autistic, I was pretty indifferent about autism too.
That’s ok.
We’re going to have to agree disagree AA.
To take just one example - my auditory sensitivity is clearly a disorder that negatively affects my life and it absolutely isn’t anyone’s fault.
Yes I understand that but language shapes perceptions! Similarly there is no limit when it comes to learning particularly about our own autistic neurology!

We are already educated.
As previously discussed, this isn't a right or wrong situation.
Terminology belongs to our own personal perceptions.
We can all educate each other though!

Once again that's your choice.
Your choice.
Our choice.
Not to be corrected as though we are in a classroom.
No, it’s literally our brains. The only reason why you would use condition is if you are still stuck in the pathology paradigm.
No one can separate our brains from us!
So is condition - ASC
It’s actually a fact.
Yes I get that.
I struggled to choose a word here that everyone else could agree with, but the main point is people might feel they’re prying.

That's your choice but it's up to the individual which (correct) terms they use.
