It's not that much of a story but I remember that I had bought some comedy comic books and on my 2nd or 3rd reread I saw that it said 1€ of the purchase went to autism support projects, so I decided to read the back, thinking "wtf is autism?" and it described what it is. Then there was a message about what an autist would say to society, "help me understand", "we can live a life just as fulfilling as yours, but different" (this was a major bluepill but that's not the point of the thread). So I started to think how much being an autist would suck and I absolutely bawled my eyes out in the privacy of my room.
Fast forward to 17 years old and I find out I'm autistic according to two psychologists.
I guess the moral of the story is just that you can't really empathize with something if you haven't experienced it. In the back of my mind I knew something was going wrong at the time (still is) so the realization of "shit, this condition blows" only hit home because I had suffered from it all along.
