Since realising that I am ‘on the spectrum, (having been assessed and diagnosed) which of course explains and gives reason for my behaviour and way of thinking, nonetheless, I’ve come to bitterly regret being this way - to the extent of feeling cursed. Does anybody else feel this way and would you - as I do - take a safe cure for it, if there was one? I’d hate to think I was alone in this regard.
No, not really. I'd much rather know who I am than feel I have to pretend to be someone else just to 'fit in' - which I was constantly told I must do growing up.
Having experienced prejudice, bullying, a difficult childhood and extremely trying times as an adult, I'm just happy to be here.
Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass if I don't fit in.
Societal problems, not mine.
