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?

      It’s certainly a possible choice. I can’t really help you with that though, you got to know yourself if that’s right for you.

      For me, I felt terrible throughout a majority of my life. I don’t know if I was lucky or what, but I somehow never seriously considered ending my life. For me, that was really good, because I could have never imagined how good my life can be. If I look at today, it would just be extremely sad if I didn’t get to experience such a happy state.

      I don’t know what your future holds, no one does. But I personally think that there’s at least a chance that you’d experience the same thing.
