Welcome to the forums, Jello! Rather than just leave it at that, I feel I must inform you about a tidbit in your introductory post that bothered me a good deal:
Drop this attitude, please. I know that sounded like it came out of the left field (and also probably sounded overly harsh), so let me explain real quick; being proud for having autism isn't unlike being proud for having green eyes or being proud for having naturally curly hair. Pride comes in many colours, but I've never heard of the autistic shade, and probably for good reason. In this day and age, having autism or aspergers is irrelevant to how good of a person you are, so try and refrain from bringing it up in situations like this, if that's alright
