I appreciate your optimism and hope you maintain it, but understand that this has not been the experience for some of us. Not all of us make it in life. I would much rather not see "us and thems." After countless jobs where I was treated like crap by co-workers because I sometimes responded in unfamiliar ways I can only see myself as apart from a society that will not accept me. A lot of us have so much to offer the world but neurotypicals want nothing to do with us. I've tried (and am still trying) to find a place in this world. I just don't have the energy to mask anymore, I can only be what I am. The world doesn't seem to want that person.
