Autism, this is how it's affected me. Has it affected you?

There's a saying among those of us on the spectrum; we don't "suffer" from autism, we suffer from society's attitude towards autism. Most of us are pretty happy with who we are, we just find it difficult interfacing with the non-autistic majority since our thought processes can be so different.

Forgive me for being ignorant and asking, but how true is that, though? You can absolutely suffer from autism beyond things that are societies fault. Pretty much any flaw a person has will have a societal reaction that society should change, but that doesn't mean they'd say they have no problem whatsoever.
