It's nice to see some positivity returning to WP. People need to stop thinking of themselves as "cursed" and just accept themselves for who they are

For some reason whenever I hear about "autism steals" or "autism leaves a empty shell" I can't help but shake my head.
↑↑↑ Nothing in the world enrages me more than those repulsive comments you describe. It is both unbelievably insulting and, factually inaccurate; how can Autism "steal" someone's personality if they were born with it? To some extent, Autism IS you.
Oh, and to anyone who is planning to refute this post with "They aren't talking about you, they're talking about LFAs, I don't feel any less insulted. More so, in fact. I have had the privilege of meeting several Low-Functioning Autistic children in my life, and I assure you, they are NOT the empty, eternally screaming zombie children Autism Sneaks has portrayed.
I'm sorry that this post has turned into a bit of a rant. It wasn't my initial intention!
