Maybe I've watched one too many X-Men movies, but I love my fucking self. I don't want a "cure" for the beautiful diversity that I embody. SOCIETY needs the fucking cure. NT's can be short sighted, ignorant, and bigoted toward people different from them. I moved in to a new neighborhood and was taunted by my neighbor with high-pitch noises that she (rightly) assumed only I could hear. My life is hard as shit because of ASD; and lonely as a lost sock. But that's not because of the ASD, it's because people in Western culture have fucked up values. That use and abandonment is ingrained in people's approach to literrally everything - nature and other human beings. I go through moments of serious self-hate, for sure. But I just want everyone on here to love your self - you are NOT why you're suffering.
