Ordinary things like driving overwhelms me. I can't hold a job due to sensory overload. I do not fit in anywhere due to being an autist. This world was made for neurotypicals and I want to leave. It's shameful that I can't perform actions regular people can. Things like talking to another human in real life almost gives me a panic attack. I mess up my speech, I stutter, I say stupid things that I don't mean. Not all neurotypicals have it easy, but being a neurotypical makes it easier than being neurodivergent. Because this world was made for them and not us.

I also have autism and I certainly see myself as not meant to exist in this cruel, dreadful world. I really hate how suicide isn't seen as a valid option to escape from suffering especially as none of us ever asked for this existence in the first place, instead we were so cruelly burdened with it.

I'd say I was more neurotypical than not and I find life difficult. I imagine it's only worse for neurodivergents.

Autistic and just feel like there is a different language used by the neurotypicals and the rest of us are just left out in the cold.

Being autistic, what makes me very sad (along with everything that has been said) is the feeling of being incompetent. It feels like I'll never have a career in this shitty capitalist world. I feel left behind.

I'm autistic too and I relate. I'm so incompetent. This is a neurotypical world and I have to die because I don't want to participate in it

Feeling this post hard but I unfortunately find that the truth is other neurodivergents can be brutal too when you exhibit symptoms hard.
