    this isn’t true, lots of aspects of autism make life way way way way easier especially in the age of technology. There are so many things that are utterly obvious and trivially easy for me that allistic people around me can barely wrap their heads around.

    autism in a society that doesn’t hate nonstandard people is just a sidegrade, there isn’t really anything about autism that is inherently difficult, it’s just different.

      I have an autistic parent. Family that I had to rely on as a child. Autism is not a positive thing. It doesn’t make you a bad person or somehow morally less, but it does make you an emotional drain on everone you interact with.
