I’m not happy with it, but I’m scared of what I would be without it.

Both? Like it’s a fundamental part of me but also it’s been the reason I’ve struggled so much. This is why I have like, terrible self talk and self esteem

Tbh, I think it really balances my schizophrenia. Idk how to explain it, but it just does.

To anyone that votes “yes”, I’m being so fr but how can y’all be happy that y’all are autistic? I’m struggling to find reasons to be 🥲

Interesting, I’d be curious to hear more if you’re comfortable

Happy might be the wrong word, comfortable maybe. I like the way it makes me think.

You can dm and we could talk about it on the phone, it’s really a lot to text

I really wouldn't be me without my autism and I probably wouldn't be as successful in life as I am now.

Like #3 said, it’s really what makes me who I am. I don’t know who I would be without it. It’s hard, and feels impossible sometimes, but I also love myself, so by extension I love my autistic brain too💜
