Agree, but one can reduce the amount of stress in life by adapting.

Also i think we live shorter, some research suggest that our immune systems are different (or altered) and there is a slightly elevated risk of autoimmune diseases in families that have someone with autism, including the one with autism. This could lead to a shorter lifespan, or a life with less quality.
