I am on drugs and I realized something.
At 15, even though I was living with my sick grandma and her abusive son, I was happy because I was completely autistic and didn't give a fuck about anything else other than playing videogames.
Now at 22 I have been surviving alone for 6 years and I am am unhappy because I am trying to have a life and act like a normie as a coping mechanism to the truth that I am absolutely autistic and give absolutely no fucks about succeeding in the real world.
I have become so good at pretending I'm normal that I began believing it myself.
this is NOT the right time to be autistic.
Being born today as an autist is the equivalent of being teleported back in time 2 million years ago.

so autists are witches? interesting theory.

and calling yourself socially inept or a loser is your way of making yourself believe you're not an autist because you are affraid of being ostracized from the rest of Humans.
We are merely affraid of the unknown that awaits beyond the limits of neurotypicality

Okay, now this is going to shock you but listen and rationalize this concept. You think you are something other than human because you are autistic and your autism blinds you to the fact and reality that you are a human being who is just slightly less or severely less functioning in society. Your difference is that you are mentally restricted by a predetermined genetic condition or trait. This autism can however result in Savant Syndrome which means your autistic brain picks up a single talent or skill set then focuses on that skill set or talent until you've perfected that craft far beyond what any neurotypical person is likely to achieve given their unrestricted mental abilities resulting in their "pick it up and try it out" mentality. Autistic people in a sense have a singular focused Ego that results in them being incapable of focusing on the social perspective on their actions and behaviors. What you should consider doing is pick something up and work at that thing and become a master at it so that you don't have to focus on being ordinary because you'll be extraordinary. This is the right time to be autistic. There has never been a better time in history to be autistic. 10 - 20 years ago being autistic would have gotten you bullied into suicide, 100 years ago being autistic meant you were probably going to be abandoned, 300+ years ago being autistic probably resulted in your death at an early age unless you got lucky. This is the time to be autistic, focus your autism on something achievable and do it.

The history aspect of this is especially untrue. People were just designated as "fucking weird" and given a wide birth, but they still proceeded to maintain families and hold jobs. No one was abandoning irritating 12 year olds way too into hopskotch (or whatever the 1920s equivalent of sonic was). And certainly, in the 1700s, kids weren't just randomly dying because they liked fiction. Obviously I mean OP's "autistic" and not severe autism.
