"I'm not saying that if you genuinely suffer from a mental disorder that you should be ashamed of it."
I Replied:
If you actually are disordered mentally and do not suffer, then it is a human condition to be proud of, perhaps.
If you suffer from a disorder, it hurts, and the suffering part/s needs to go.
Suffering ain't cool, but being disorderedly different in a potentially handy fashion is.
My sister is ADHD. Does she suffer from it? No, it helps her multitask.
I am likely enough to be Autistic and am ADHD. I love my brain, when it doesn't overload me. I'm also on a depression med. Life hurts because of my mood. THAT'S incapacitating. That, and what the @#$%&^*!!! stimulant does for my anxiety and paranoia. :howls:
BTW, have you ever suffered socially? Answer that question and think about it before reading further.

You could've obsessed with social communication, and made it much less easy for misunderstandings to happen. But the obsessive special interest's an Aspie trait. You suffer from Neurotypicalism, just as much as some of those other people you named suffer from their mental disorders. Some mental disorders are actually disabling, and others are just human conditions. You get it?
