You'd think that Id understand this, having gone through the diagnostic process myself. There's still enough evidence as it is to undergo a test. Or at least do one of those dumb quizzes and see how you score.

yeah it'd be fucking hilarious if it were up to one of those quizzes

To be honest, all this talk just makes me think how much people worry about "what" they are, what labels they use to describe themselves- and, in a way, an excuse. An excuse not to do or be something you really want to do because some someone told you can't or you're not "supposed" to because this, that and the other.

If any of what you saying were somehow to be true, all I'd see it as is some sort of petty placebo effect where I'd be using it to justify certain behaviours (or even failures), whereas I could just live my life the way I always have. I never had any sort of impediment of sorts, whether it'd be physical, mental, or even in social interactions (I made it sound a lot worse, apparently)

Like, what was it like for you once you've been diagnosed? Did you see feel the same, or is there a part of you justifying your way of being and using it as an excuse for certain things?
