Although there are aspects of my autism that can frustrate me, I wouldn't go as far as to say that I hate being autistic. There are things I notice and can think about, which I look upon as benefits. Things that NTs don't seem to notice or think about, or at least not to the same extent that I do. I'm a creative person who likes to dabble in arts and crafts that require paying attention to detail. If I was neurotypically wired, I question if I would have that same ability.
