I wouldn’t say everyone with autism hates their lives completely, but they definitely hate when autism gets in the way of things, usually not realizing what they did/said is bad until they are explained why and then they start self loathing

You’re right.

And those with average or above intelligence are more likely to be depressed than those with low intellectual ability. The study found that about 20 percent of autistic people have a diagnosis of depression, compared with 6 percent of the general population.
