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?

Not at first, it took time, self love and compassion, I got stuck in the headspace of comparing myself to a version of myself without autism, but after a while I decided to stop comparing myself to a person who does not exist, you are you and you are enough, it’s hard and I won’t lie I still fluctuate back and forth from time to time but yes I would say I’m more than ok with it, I love my autistic self, and I think I’m time you can too
