I don't hate being autistic per say, in some ways I feel it makes me more interesting, like I have a special badge lol. What I hate is the normal things in life I have missed out on like adult friendships and relationships. Those are are not directly a result of autism, many autistic people have those things but I think it would have been a lot easier if I hadn't been autistic. Looking back at 10 year old me I was a happy child in a happy family, I wouldn't want to change that part of my life. I wish I had been more resilient in coping with the challenges of adolescence and adulthood.
