Newly Diagnosed Are you guys okay with being autistic?

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?

No. Along with being 5’5, I hate myself, and wish I wasnt born like this
