I have autism (not much, but it shows in my social skills)
People are using that as an excuse to make fun of me or to crush my dreams. Heck, I wasn't told I had it till my 14th BIRTHDAY! 
I use my disabilty to help others, even those who are "normal". But, people have always treated me like a child, though I have gotten in the Junior Honor society TWICE IN A ROW and I can help almost anyone!  They don't see the gamer, author, the artist, the book worm, the helpful auntie and sister. They only see the fat, autistic piece of $@!+! pardon my French.  
Because of them, I have low self esteem and have contemplated ending it all a few times. 
I really agree with this, but i still feel
awful
