I'm proud of it. I was born to be weird.

i think it is weird to be proud, and even weirder to be proud of being weird.

Maybe I just think you're weird. :P

I'm proud to be me, so I don't mind being weird. Sometimes I'm drawn to the "weird" because it's so off the beaten path.

I'm not weird, I'm autistic.

No, I wouldn't like being weird.

I think it was only when I realised that yes, people think I'm weird, but that's ok, that I really started to enjoy life. I embrace my weirdness, and it gets me out of a lot of sticky situations!

^^ I believe I am very strange compared with many humans. ^^ I am very happy to be myself. ^^ For, if I was not myself, I could not be happy nor unproud nor proud nor unhappy or anything.

I'm not even weird so no I can't be proud of it. Not weird? That's right, shy and quiet maybe, but not "weird" I stopped being weird a while ago.
But I do like weird people.

I love my weirdness. It's what makes me different from the masses....and if you know me, you know I can't stand the masses.

All my life I have been called weird, and never really minded. After all what is the opposite?
Ordinary.
Having it labelled as AS just gives me a bit of a framework to underatand where people are coming from with the 'weird' thing.

no - i do not feel proud to be weird. I like my weirdness sometimes and other times feel like a misfit and freak because of it.

I've also been told I was weird although I think I'm quite ordinary. I don't try to be weird and don't understand what's so weird about just being yourself. I mean I don't conduct myself in attention getting ways. At one point I thought maybe they were trying to express something else and weird was the only thing they could come up with.

This is what I tell my friend that probably has autism.
