I think a better way to approach it is, "I may need to find a different path to success than the neurotypical examples I've seen because I'm autistic." It's a level of work NTs don't have to put in. They can follow the examples of other NTs and reasonably expect it to work. Autistic people have to step back, evaluate why the method isn't working for them, iterate, and try again. But you're right--it doesn't have to be insurmountable. I figure if my challenge weren't this, it would just have been something else. No sense wishing to trade struggles. I have the one I have. So it's up to me to make a strategy to handle it.
