Having Asperger's is hard. I struggle every day with maintaining my routine, managing anxiety and battling slumps of depression. It's like my mind wants to break free of the obsessions and OCD but every time I try I fail and I go back to my routines and stims that make me feel safe and calm.
So no, being on the spectrum isn't "fun" or "cool", anymore than people joking about "the voices in their heads" makes them seem edgy.
Having this condition makes for an interesting and different life, in my opinion, but it is one that is often fraught with judgment, lack of acceptance and hardship.
