Well my name is MARKUS Im quite different Of course and not being ashamed of it.Going back to my own personal experience,of course it creates complications when I make use of my own autistic processes to pursue interests and goals that are meaningful to me,and make no effort to do things the way other people do them.It violates people's expectations.
But a lifetime's experience has demonstrated that I have no choice in that matter--I'm going to violate people's expectations no matter what I do, because I don't know how to act normal even if I wanted to.
If I accept other people's norms as my own goals even though I don't understand them,then I assure that when I can't conform to other people's expectations, I fall short of my own standards as well.
The idea of wanting to fit in for its own sake,of being different as a misfortune in and of itself,is not an idea I've heard expressed by autistic people.If an autistic person is unhappy about being different,it's because non-autistic people have taught the autistic person that bad things will happen to you if you're different.
There were some things I was aware of from a much earlier age.I noticed that other kids picked on me.That was just part of life:I didn't like it,and at times I wondered what there was about them that made them so nasty,but I certainly didn't think that I should be like those nasty people.
But if I define myself only in terms that are meaningful to me,and I refuse to accept standards and roles that aren't part of my reality.Since I'm not a non-autistic person,there's no reason why I should try to act like one,and there's no sense of failure attached to not acting like one.
I think everyone needs to realize that being autistic is nothing to be sad or ashamed or embarrassed about.Stop trying to deny or minimize the differences,and stop pretending the autism can be separated from the person.Autistic people are very different from non-autistic people,and those differences run all the way down to the core of personality and awareness.
