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, I don't hate it. There is nothing wrong with us. I do get frustrated at times as things can be harder being autistic, but it is better to direct that frustration and anger outwards. If people were a bit more accepting, life would be much better! There is nothing wrong with us, the world is just not designed for us. Not being autistic would mean that I wasn't me anymore. I want to be happy but I do believe that is possible as a autistic person too. I do hope that one day society will be more accepting and accessible.
