Just because you identify as autistic, doesn't necessarily imply you see a bloody good thing about it.
More an inability to deny the facts in favor of a rosier picture.
The only benefit I can see is understanding what my mind is and how it works (or doesn't).
While that's useful information, there's a LOT of bad stuff I don't quite see it counterbalancing.
