“Autism spectrum disorder spiked 175% among people in the U.S. from 2.3 per 1,000 in 2011 to 6.3 per 1,000 in 2022, researchers found. Diagnosis rates climbed at a faster rate among adults in their mid-20s to mid-30s in that period, according to a study published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open.”
You sound very young. Acceptance and feeling normal is extremely important to human beings and pretty much every creature on earth. Autism is a struggle, not a super power
I’m 28. Acceptance and feeling normal via imitation are not real and those who go this way will suffer.
And sincere acceptance is just that, it doesn’t force you to pretend.

OK, I am, but that’s mainly due to having limited energy.
