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?

    Incorrect. To be “normal” is to be boring. To be “normal” is to have near-zero chance of making a difference in the world.

    The people who tell you being weird is bad are the people who are so dreadfully normal that they feel the need to put down deviance so they can convince themselves they are superior. And it sounds like it worked; they’ve suckered you into believing them.

    Are you going to stay under that cloud of perceived inferiority? The choice is yours.
