Life as an Autistic Dudeist

Life as an autistic Dudeist may seem contradictory to those who are familiar with the stereotypical behavior and all the anxiety that comes with it. Anxiety is bad, comfort and pleasure are good. But what does being Dudeist and autistic mean to me?

My first step toward breaking the chains and shackles of autism was to accept myself as much at a time as I am able, as there is no shame in picking up pieces as you go.

I accepted that my behavior is severely stereotypical; I accepted that I have anger issues; I accepted that anxiety is always gonna be in my life in one way or another; I accepted that even though I cannot change my past, I have the courage and strength to just be the best damn me I can be! And most of all, I accepted that I contribute to the world by my actions, so I choose to be a survivor, rather than a victim!
