Should you have been aborted? (Genetics)

How many people on this site think that they have value?

I am asking because I believe I have no value to civilization. So to those who are not savants, who live on disability, whose families tell them they are special, do you think you have a value?

I'm gonna tell you why I think you and I don't. You're special interests are not that interesting. You're ability to focus on minutia, not that helpful. You're lack of ability to empathize in the moment, "I can see you're in trouble, but I have to process it first," sad.

I'm going out on a limb to say that the gifts of autism are a small payoff for the what we drain from others. Perhaps I should post in the Haven, but I think this is more general.

They will find a genetic identifier for autism, and then we will be gone. Thank God.

Holy hell keep this to yourself. People are going to be triggered by this stuff.

Well personally I don’t think I should have been aborted. Some days I used to before I knew I had ASD but now I know, I accept that it’s what makes me me and I have a family who love me and a few friends who truly appreciate and are good to me. Sone days I find it hard to see the positives in life I admit but I have value. I’m sure you do too and the person who just posted agreeing with you. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean you don’t

I know that I have value, although it's hard for me to see it sometimes. I have had a positive impact on people in the past, and it's likely that I will continue to do so in the future.

Kicked in the teeth is a dramatic understatement for me, I think.
But it isn't a competition.
It's hard. It's really, really difficult.
And when it comes down to it, who cares? Why bother? Well I won't know if I don't keep trying, will I? Doesn't matter if the majority of people don't care. It matters when one person does. The rest of them can take a flying leap. The point of the noble act is that it doesn't matter if no one notices.
Why bother?
Because sometimes life is just so beautiful, and I'd really hate miss one of those moments.

I'm here, as in continuing to exist and breathe air because I want to be. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about that.
And truthfully, sparing some seriously personal details, it's amazingly lucky that I was born, and that I had someone that cared about me. And I'm thankful for that, and unwilling to relinquish my grasp on life just yet.

I tried it for the first time when I was five.
Most of the time, it's a good day if I can make it out of bed without thinking about it.
I don't smile. To an extent that it's problematic. I didn't know how to until I was 29.
I keep hoping tomorrow will be a better day, even though it usually isn't.
Maybe the only reason I stick around is because I hate myself so much, and I want to drag it out as long as I possibly can.

Nobody should have been aborted.
Abortion is murder.

I want to get in a time machine & convince my parents not to have me. How much of this can be attributed to asd or just being born into a dysfunctional family system, I don’t know.

My mother kept me against doctors' advice. That's right: the doctors were recommending abortion. Who am I to tell her she shouldn't have risked her life? I know she would do it a million times over again.
