AutistiCritic on Nostr: Now I know there’s something “wrong” with me - I know autism is a difference ...

Now I know there’s something “wrong” with me - I know autism is a difference and not necessarily a flaw, please don’t @ me - it reinforces the negative self esteem I’ve had since I was a child. Is this a problem for all late-DX autistics, that sudden realisation that you were never going to live the sort of life that others around were? And when do you feel the positive side of autism, which I keep hearing about? (4/5)
