Tried to give up but I just can’t

I think two viewpoints can be true at the same time, in that working on yourself and focusing on gratitude will lead to a more satisfying life. Expressing and identifying with grief of what one has has missed out on due to disability is healthy (up to a point). Better than to bottle it up, were meant to express ourselves to be less 'toxic'. Analysing the reasons for love deprivation is also useful for solving the problem for us and future generations of autistics. Identifying the problem is the first step. Relationship dysfunction is something society as a whole has to tackle as well, with ageing populations and low fertility, but the mainstream refuses to even take the first step.
