To any of you who have ever felt that way, I hope this helps a little...I will probably read it several times myself:

There's a "Bill of Human Rights" I saw years ago, which listed various rights that belong to everyone as an individual human. Some I remember were:

-you have the right to take up space
-you have the right to say "no"
-you have the right to change your mind
-you have the right to be make mistakes

I will try to find it and post the entirety here..

There's a guy I really like at psychcentral.com, but he thinks his condition makes him repellent. Why lower yourself to the point where you feel you being autistic is a sinful thing?

Sometimes I feel like the only thing I really have to offer is my writing and filling in the niche cracks.
