Are you happy that you have autism? Be Honest

Sometimes I feel so cheated by having AS. Admittedly, a lot of what I hoped and dreamed of in life was taken from me because AS either keeps me from being able to do it, or not knowing about AS and developing appropriate coping/adaptation skills early on caused me to burn some bridges before I ever got to cross them.

Then, I look and realize my life is not as bad as it could be. A lot of NTs also find their lives not living up to what they hoped for when they were younger (thankfully, disappointment is a universal issue). I also realize that AS puts me in a place where I see the world from a unique perspective. I look at how NTs scurry around like rats in a maze and question how they can be so oblivious to how they're being manipulated in society. It makes me glad I'm not like them.

Overall, I am happy that I have autism.

When I was younger, it was a lot worse. I hated having autism because kids were cruel.

The benefits happen more when I am older and my workload increases. It helps me see things others would not. It helps me to use my intelligence to its fullest potential (due to the obsessive nature and ritualization of studying).

Come on, get happy topic

I would be happy if you did not have it.

Next.

Days when I need to be able to communicate effectively, NO!! !

And sh*t, that's pretty much everyday!

Yes, I'm happy - I wouldn't want to be normal - it seems like a boring life. Plus I love my interests!
And just to clarify, what do you mean by a "Troll"?
