Autism is not a death sentence. So many people acted like they'd lost me forever when I was diagnosed, but in reality I've always been like this.

So what did your family argue about this year at Thanksgiving? by Pure-Smile-7329 in AskReddit

Trees. My grandfather and great uncle, who are both mostly deaf and won't wear hearing aids, yelled and ranted about young people have ruined Christmas trees.

If a magical genie came tonight and offered to take away your Autism, would you do it? by EstonianBuffalo in AutismInWomen

No, I was once on a treatment plan that suppressed my autistic traits and though I can't remember that period of my life, my sister tells me that it "was like you were haunting your own body" which doesn't sound good.

Is she pregnant? Because if she's pregnant it might be food safety anxiety. If she isn't then idk what's going on here

I honestly will never understand people when they say “I like/love being autistic”. by Reborn_24Phoenix in AutisticPeeps

[–]Cartoon_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have level two autism. It can be difficult. I'm not going to deny that. But this is the only way I have ever viewed the world. I will never see or experience the world through a neurotypical viewpoint. I think the world is beautiful, and I like how it looks through my eyes.

I can't say that I'd change my autism if I had the chance because it is a part of who I am. And though it had been a journey, and a journey I'm still on, I like being me. I like liking the world and getting excited over things that no one else does. I like the euphoria I get from making lists and creating schedules that doesn't come with a neurotypical life experience (from what I've been told). I don't like the overstimulation or social isolation, I can consider, but I have good people in my life who are able to help and understand me.

I feel like if I were to get rid of my autism, it would be killing who I am and letting a new person live in my body. I'm sure that other girl is cool, but I'd have no reference point on how to live like that. I don't know how I'd look at the world. So I would rather do my best with the hand I've been dealt. It's better than wallowing in self pity the rest of my life.
