    Are you sure that they are mistakes or is that just what you are being led to believe by others?

    Part of embracing your autistic identity is accepting that it is ok to be different. What other people might see as a dumb choice might be perfectly normal and completely acceptable to you. Weird is another way of saying different but it is not necessarily wrong.
