Look here, Mario. You are speaking for exactly one (1) person. Your personal experience of autism is not universal. Some of us just have better circumstances. Some of us are spiteful bitches who live for the difficulty. My point being, some of us actually like being alive, and are okay with being autists.
The ratio of votes says otherwise.
Good for you for having an enjoyable life. I hope you continue to do so.
Ironically they do
Well, used to. I stand by my statement.

You're going through month+ long threads. Ran out of things to look at on the internet? Been there.
you know it takes half a minute to scroll down there. Really don't you have anything better to do than to come and say that ?
Oh I'm sorry to disappoint you. Expecting a proper debate? Or were you just shouting at the clouds at a random anonymous post you disagree with?
I politely disagree.
Autism can* be terrible, just as autism can also allow to have a great life.
So no, is not a true but a loose may.
