The headline seems slightly misleading. They accept that they are in fact autistic, as diagnosed.
What they are ambivalent about is, well it's a little unclear, but something along the lines of whether "the left" have ruined society by being too nice to the mentally ill and marginalized or something like that.
- bell-cot 4y agoAfter talking about that ("the left"...), this paragraph seems the most connected to the title: > Almost three years after my diagnosis, I’m increasingly ambivalent about the label. It’s not a core, or even relevant, part of my self-concept. I still have many of the same idiosyncrasies as I did three years ago, but I don’t need to fixate on my autism to accept them. At a certain point, making my identity revolve around a neurological condition began to feel limiting.
