We're all wired differently - being autistic is both a blessing and a curse. I have no filter between doing right and wrong, much to my family's annoyance. Even though I know I shouldn't do things, I still do 😔

There is a misconception that we entertain suicidal thoughts because we don't enjoy life, when it's more a case of being so tired of it. Tired of constantly being crushed by conflicting views and stigma created by those who do not understand the damage caused. We feel bad enough and confused enough.
