Real and tbh it annoys me when people pretend autism has no downsides. Meltdowns suck. Sensory issues suck. Interpersonal issues from misunderstandings suck. Strong negative emotions suck. Rigid thinking can cause problems that suck. Developmental delays suck. Comorbid issues suck. The way people treat you because of it can suck. There’s a lot of things about autism that suck and it’s okay to feel that way.

It’s so much fun though. Yes we are mentally fucked up but I’m not going to hide it hell I’m going to admit it and embrace it.
