I also have autism and have lived with it my entire life. You're not broken and stupid for having it, that I can assure you. Nor are you ever a burden to those around you. I wonder the same thing sometimes, but the reality is that that will never be possible because that's not who we are. Maybe in some alternate universe if I didn't have it, I'd end up having less problems. Or maybe I would end up having more because without it I'd actually be a rude and insensitive person? These are thoughts that have kept me up at night a lot in the past.
I've been getting the feeling for awhile now that hate and intolerance doesn't come from any one group of people... it can come from anyone, even people who have are on the spectrums themselves. That's why I've always thought it's important that no matter how bad you may be feeling, to still keep pushing forward, because even though we may have things that limit us, we're the only ones who decide
how much those things limit us.
Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. The world is a dark, cruel place, but it doesn't have to be if we don't give up. Sending you much love.
