I think I'm too late for this, but I found this and feel compelled.
Hello, Dr. Do you have any advice on how I can quit with the self loathing that I have when it comes to having autism? I'm very ashamed of it. Sometimes I wish that I wasn't, but I have a lot of self hatred about it and wish I was neurotypical, I guess. I've been advised that I've done a lot despite being autistic (I'm in a poly relationship, own a house, became a naturalized American, and have masked to the point people who don't know I'm autistic would ever guess). Yet, despite all of that, I have a lot of depression, angst, and self loathing over it.
I'm not sure I can elaborate; I just wanted to get it out. I struggle with it a lot.
