Autism can be very good in many situations. This is shown as with autism some people can think in more complex ways so you are able to think about more. You can think about many outside the box ideas that most other people without autism would never think of.

Who cares if the world calls you weird, everyone has a right to be who they want and what they want. It doesn't matter if someone doesn't like your plan to fly to Mars on a tesla tractor or become a roller-coaster tester just be YOU and no one can stop you.

With autism the world can be tough, this is because it is not designed for us. People may see us as different, and maybe we are, but everyone is different. No one person is the same. It may be hard to get through day to day life, it may not, either way we are all human and we should all stand together. If you find it difficult living your life, know we can get through it together. Let people help you and be honest. Don’t be afraid of how people will react to your struggles. It’ll all work out.

This will likely be seen as a negative thing. Don't think of it that way. Yes, you may find that your life feels harder at times. But that is just because it hasn't been designed for you. It can feel like a video game sometimes. There are people, or things, who seem to be just completely there to try to make your life an impossible gauntlet, but there will be people who will want to support you; just follow your heart(or listen to your gut).

Autism is always painted bad when you get diagnosed and you are forced to "fit in". Sometimes people don't even let you know what it is. But autism is amazing, and sometimes useful, and if neurotypical people can't handle us for who we are, then that's their problem!

Its hard and quite tiring at the start but when you can embrace it there are so many positives and if you struggling there is help out there. If your struggling just find someone you really trust and speak to them, write it down or even draw it. I know its hard but If you can tell someone you will benefit from it in the long run.

When I was first diagnosed I got very upset and tried my best to mask it. With the knowledge I have now, I know that was the wrong thing to do. I should have been myself and not worried so much about it. I am in a much happier place now

Look at being autistic in a positive way, as you will be able to get the support you need to make sure you have the best possible school / work life. Make sure you get an understanding though, as it will be handy for when people don't understand

Accept yourself and your own capabilities. By that I mean don't push yourself to far to ""keep up"" with other people. It's ok to need breaks and it's ok to not be like everyone else, don't judge yourself for not being able to do what other people can.

Don’t apologise for being yourself. don’t be sorry for who you are, because you can’t change it, and if other people don’t like that then they can leave. Be unapologetically yourself, embrace it and don’t change for others. I made the mistake of apologising for things i couldn’t change and it made me feel guilty for being alive, it sucks, please don’t do it.

Don’t be afraid to be who you are, people will probably make fun of you, but it doesn’t matter what they think, do what makes you happy, because your happiness is the only thing that should count, not what other people think of you. I know it isn't that easy, but trust me, it’s so much easier just carelessly being you and doing what you enjoy instead of masking and being miserable to please other people. Then you will find your tribe
