All experiences are good, bad, both or neither
University lasts four years
Of course some experience are "bad"
According to the student
But bad because of autism?
Doubt it.
Granted I didn't fit in
But correlation versus causation
Some neurotypicals didn't fit in
UCSD was not diverse
Homophobic

Then I can only assume that you did not read the earlier posts.
Given that assumption, you may not have realised how belittling your comment could seem in the context of what's been written earlier. But I went
when I first read it, given some of the s**t that I wrote about last night with tears in my eyes, and the traumas that others have written about.If your opinion still stands having read back a bit, then fair enough - I realise that this is an emotive subject for you too, and I don't do grudges.

It is a sensitive topic.
I ended up in a psych ward after some experiences I had in college and had to take an entire semester off, so it’s certainly not cool to make light of a topic that has been difficult for so many of us.
But we got through it.

Likewise. The posts should be read as warnings which can prepare people better to deal with the challenges; and in my case, an example of how NOT to deal with them if they arise.
And thankyou to everyone for your support during my little emotional wobble - it is much appreciated.
