>>67284850>They did put me through social skills classes in early elementary school that helped quite a bitThis is called socialization, it's normal for every kid to go through this, your parents were scared into paying for them
>It's more useful to think of it as a disorder with pros and cons than an illness.It's not, you don't have a disorder, you are a normal human being, every single thing you were taught about yourself is a lie, every human is different, every human has these idiosyncrasies, your parents however were duped into paying for them
Most black children are diagnosed with autism because the state pays for it
When it comes to
>autism awarenessIt is entirely culturally relevant, what is "autistic" in one culture, isn't in another.
If you take a finnish child and bring him to america he will be diagnosed as autistic.
If you take an italian child to finland, he will be diagnosed as autistic.
You were lied to, duped, swindled, rused, used and abused.
You are a completely normal, functional member of society, every single human being has different food sensitivities, sound sensitivities, hearing and comprehension sensitivities.
You calling it a disorder is just a cope, it is to explain why you are in some way a loser, but you are well within the coefficient of normal humans and you(and your parents) just made poor life decisions that end resulted in a loser.
It has no outside cause from your genetics, being a loser is environmental, it's a mindset.
