I am also autistic and I disagree. While parts of who I am are in twined with autism, I am not one and the same with autism.
I hate my sensory issues, but I don’t hate myself. I hate many of the manifestations of autism in me, but I don’t hate myself.
Just because a person is autistic doesn’t mean they are autism. Many people believe that, but autism is a vast spectrum and many people on it feel differently than you. That’s okay.
