I’ve realised since moving out, autistic people are expected to make themselves like other

I’ve realised since moving out, autistic people are expected to make themselves like others. I am expected to devote my life to mimicking neurotypicals in every way possible. I am expected to live as a defective neurotypical person, always striving to blend in. Then it occured to me… why can’t I live as a perfectly fine autistic person? Why can’t I spend my energy being me and living my own life in my own way? What is so wrong with actually just being myself? I’m not going to live as a faulty version of a ‘normal’ person anymore. My brain is different but that does not make it wrong.Love your brain and love yourself and your perspective of the world ♡  -- source link
