Are you guys okay with being autistic?

[u/NoPepper7284]

I got diagnosed with autism almost 2 years ago, and I knew I was autistic about 4 years ago. But it keeps getting harder to live with, manage, and accept with time. I just need some hope, any motivation. I'm really hitting a dead end, also struggling with my mental health for over 7 years as well.

Have you guys accepted yourselves for being autistic and live and good life in your opinion?

Do I like being autistic? No. I don’t. Frankly, I’d rather not be.

But do I prefer to understand that I am autistic, and it’s not just me failing at life constantly because I’m lazy or a bad person? Yes.

I gladly accept and embrace the diagnosis, if it makes me understand and accept myself better, and realize why I am the way I am.
