Many people have many different experiences with it. Autism is unavoidably a disability in many respects, but some people have their own manifestations of autism that don't necessarily conflict with the life that they have. These people, as few as they may seem, still have a valid experience.
It can be disheartening to learn about the lives of such people when one's own experience with autism is marred with executive dysfunction and degraded interpersonal relationships due to being socially graceless (or a myriad of other things). You're not the only person who has felt left out in regards to advocation for neurodivergent acceptance, some people harbor absolutely no positive or neutral feelings for the challenges they face. It's an especially common sentiment among people who suffer schizophrenia, for example (as most experts never even attempt to assert positive qualities for schizophrenia as they might try for other disorders).
Many people who promote neurodiversity simply do it out of the hopes that the world would be a better place for those with mental disabilities. They don't necessarily want to make any declaration about how suffering is entirely external.
