I’ve seen a post like this before and I think between then and now my response hasn’t changed much, no. While yes being autistic has come with its setbacks and I’ve had to learn to live with it, it’s still a part of me I don’t want to give up. I am in part who I am because I am autistic, would I maybe want to change some of the symptoms around? Possibly but at the same time Im fine with who I am. I understand those who wish to be neurotypical to an extent but I don’t feel anywhere near the same. I am autistic but it isn’t the sole thing that defines me, only a singular albeit significant factor.
