It's true though. Living with autism is like choosing the Nightmare difficulty option in life.

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.

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.
