Venting Being autistic means no breaks in life

[LifeIsASadist]

I am bound to be a loser all thanks to my autism, I had to get cursed so badly by life I am the only autist in my family and it feels SO CRIMINAL to have this happen to me. Yet there is my step dad coping telling me "WeLL ElOn HaS AuTIsm anD hE iS SucCeSFUL anD AlbErT EiNsteiN" like for 1, Elon was born rich because of an emerald mine his dad had and for 2 Albert stole most of "his" ideas from his wife.

Edit : Also worth mentioning Albert was never confirmed to have autism, it was a theory.

Proper accommodations goes a long way but most people choose to be ableist instead

I feel you. I love my autistic brain but it's so hard to function in this world. In many ways I appear successful on the outside, but on the inside I'm a train wreck.

Autism is hard to handle. Especially when people just tell you you're weird and need to behave, like hello lmao I have a condition fuck all of you people. For what it's worth though, I don't think being autistic dooms you to being a loser. Like yeah it's either to be a fuck up, but we're just playing a harder game than neurotypical folk and we gotta figure out different ways to be successful. I'm not mad that I'm autistic but I'm pissed off the rest of the seems to think I'm lesser cause of it lol

I think sooner or later they'll find a way to detect it in the womb and most women will get abortions if it shows up. I certainly wish my mother had aborted me, it would have spared both of us so much pain.

The only successful autistic people are ones with mild autism, who can easily come off as neurotypical. If you have more severe autism, you're screwed.
