I have autism and this fact has disturbed me greatly for some time, to the point its led me to some dark paths. I just want to know if I can actually live a normal life with it or am I doomed to be a weirdo forever?

My fiance and I are both autistic. I’m a software developer and woodworker. She’s a college professor and resin artist. We are both incredibly happy and productive weirdos, and proud of it.
As a side note. I know a lot of “normal” people who are miserable and unproductive.
I bet you wouldn’t want your kids to have autism
I wouldn’t have her any other way, and fuck you
You wouldn’t have her without a disability?
That’s totally unrelated to the above posts, isn’t it?
I’m not autistic, but I chose to get a vasectomy to avoid passing on certain other traits. So, that’s an option. I ended up marrying someone with a child later. So now I have a kid who doesn’t have my genetic predisposition for certain qualities. Win/win?
Well at least you did the right thing
