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?

    Considering I didn’t think I had it (but everyone else tells me I do and I can see why they’d think that) and I’ve had a pretty decent life (I’m old), I think so. My kid officially does have it, so I guess they got it from me, and I’ll be damn sure they have a good life.

    Also, I would wager a tooooon of historical figures had it but people just called them “weird”. I’d bet that a huge chunk of scientists and engineers in days past had it.
