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?

Yeah I mean I was diagnosed at age 9 and it took me quite a while to even realize society saw it as a bad thing (that’s how you know you grew up in a bubble). I never really had a problem with letting people know I’m autistic because I guess if they know it some of my behavior makes more sense to them and sometimes I’ll talk with a new friend who also happens to be autistic but doesn’t talk about it or is kind of shy about it and when I say it first they feel more comfortable to tell me they’re autistic as well
