I hate being Autistic, and its ruining my mental health

NAS87925

I want to keep this short, but I really hate being Autistic, and its making me feel like crap.

People always see me as some Child for being Autistic. Like they don't want to say anything around me because they think im going to burst into a meltdown, or that any simple task I do is seen as some amazing act.

I feel like an Idiot, and that my Autism is too blame, I want to be like other people.

I cant speak to anyone publicly without the feeling that they will judge me, I just want help.

  • The nicest thing anyone said to me when I was struggling to come to terms with it was along the lines of, "yes I guessed you were autistic, but it's OK, you be you". We're all different, whether we're autistic or not. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Autism makes some things harder, and other things easier. 

    Hating a part of yourself isn't going to help anything. It's OK to be frustrated and it's always good to want to work on your weaknesses, but you can never change the person you are inside. So you have to learn to like yourself :) That's more important than what anyone else thinks.
