I think that really comes down to the individual. If this has been your experience, then I don't mean to invalidate that and I sincerely hope things improve for you; I'm happy to offer advice or just to listen if that will help.
Personally, as a "high functioning" Autistic, I've found that mine is more a blessing than a curse now that I have learned to live in harmony with it. Yes, it makes social interactions difficult, but I've learned to mitigate this to a degree through practise. On the other hand, as I've detailed a few posts back, a lot of the things that I like about myself and consider my strengths are intrinsically interwoven with my Autism.
I wouldn't be the person I am, a person that at long last I have learned to accept and even like, if I wasn't Autistic.
