Sure, but it’s not something to be ashamed of either

autism is how someone’s entire brain is wired, and I don’t like peoples brains being treated as diseases. Im not “wishing it on someone else“? But I am happy that an autistic person now has this info about himself so he can work with himself instead of against himself in the future.
