I longed to be normal, before I was diagnosed with ASD. I had no idea why I was different and treated like an outcast. Being alone was the only time I ever felt comfortable and at peace, because I could be myself. I longed for others to accept my genuine self. Acting was stressful and it made me miserable.

The diagnosis liberated me. I've embraced who I am fully. Now I have no desire to be normal.
