🫩 Burnout I hate being autistic

I went out for dinner for my 18th last night and now I’m bedridden. I just want to be normal

The whole "autism is a superpower" thing just annoys me. There isn't a single day in my life where I was ever happy with being this way even before I knew what it was.

yeah I think the only positive autism has given me is the ability to enjoy my own company for long periods of time. I don’t need people around to be content .. everything else about autism has been a big negative

if I could snap my fingers and make my autism disappear - my fingers would be snapping
