I'm sure you mean well, but it feels really inconsiderate to tell autistic people their feelings towards their own self aren't valid.

In my experience, the most uniting autistic experience is feeling like a burden, because that's what autistic people are treated as. Pride of who you are is a direct response to being told there's something fundamentally wrong with you.
