What I want to reveal

Yes, I know I've been extremely inactive on this site since nothing of it interests me nowadays. I've been doing this and that lately, lucky enough to say I have been more productive bit by bit. But that's not the purpose for creating this journal. I've been wanting to get something out of my chest for so long that it's actually painful to keep.

I have autism 

Yeah I said it. I've had autism as a child. I'm one of those people with social disabilities here and there. But, I came here because I also want to express my perspective of it. To start off, a lot of people often see autism as a bad thing. Why is that? Let's just say that we live in a society where "the more sociable a person is, the better". In other words, social aspects are more valuable. Autistic people like myself have difficulty with communication and interaction due to our mentalities being "irrational". However, there's another perspective, or side, of autism. Whereas, some people tend to see it as a "gift" because despite lack of social skills, studies have shown that people with autism are intelligent and tend to excel well in a lot of areas (That is, with certain forms of autism I should say). But from what I experienced, I'll say this. Autism is neither good nor bad. It's just....different. The real issue here is that people seem to be fearful of what's different of us. It's so difficult for us to be accepted for who we are because we're "strange" in our own habit. But in the end, we're all human just like you.

I've been meaning to let out my thoughts about it for a long time now. If you have any opinions about it, let me know.
