Is it normal that i hate being autistic?

As the title says, I am high functioning autist. Who isn't pleased with it. Let me explain myself, I wonder if it is normal, please excuse my flawed English in places as even though I consider my English to be not so bad it is still not my native language.

Ever since I was 15 I found out about my condition, at first I was strangely happy about it, to find out about yourself, it finally cleared up a lot of things, as to why things were they were.

If you are wondering I have been diagnosed with an aspenger's syndrome, the mild form of autism. Social situation, interaction with other people was always a great struggle, I never understood people and to be honest, I still don't, I feel like I am blind and deaef most of my life, barely understanding anything.

I always wanted to make people around me happy, especially happy, but how can I achieve this when I am lost all the time?

That is why I ask, is it normal to hate being this? People who share the same diagnosis as me say they would never drink a potion that would change it, but I guess I would. People around me would be happier, I would understand them better..sometimes I wish to know how it feels like. What is even my purpose? What I am good for like this? I can't show my feelings clearly, no one can see what I feel barely.

It brought nothiing but pain to me. And I can't see myself in the future as I feel like there is nothing for me.

    Just how does hating something about yourself improve your life? Where is the positive to it?
    Wouldn't it be easier to accept those things about one's self that you can't change and go forward from there?

      Some things are hard to accept. Maybe with time It'll manage it.

  • I don't understand people either but I don't care. I recommend to stop focusing on making others happy and do what makes you happy. It is nobody's job to please others.

    this sounds like an interesting read... and reminds me didn't someone like you write a book about it? can you fully express yourself in writing? if you can explain, what don't you understand about people? like an example maybe?

    you may not be as good socially, but in certain activities, if you can find something you're passionate about, you probably have an advantage over others. maybe do some research. clay marzo is only guy i've heard of with it.

    maybe if you find a way to put in the work behind the scenes you can make people happy. you know like writing, art, research, editing, cooking, design etc etc etc

      I never wrote any books about my diagnosis, but I pressume I could write a lot about.

      As for my other things I am good at I pressume mentioning video editing could be good to mention. I have been editing videos ever since I was five and I still do, as a hobby.

      I also can transle from my languge to English and backwards quite well I believe.

    If you would drink that magic potion it seems you are already on your way to becoming less autistic-like. However, you will likely have trouble with getting a woman if you are a heterosexual man.

        Or it could be said you are bi because perhaps you can't get a woman?

        I strongly believe the thimerosal in vaccines caused your condition but this isn't adding anything productive.
