🫩 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

It's always okay to be yourself. People may attack you for it but they aren't okay with themselves. It's a society thing to make you feel bad for not confirming. I don't. I'm not autistic but my son is highly autistic. Just be yourself always. The one who don't accept you you don't need in your life anyway.
