No i don't think it would cause i'm not sick, i think questioning obvious things and refusing to buy into social norms or standards isn't a sickness but a choice, also i have no credentials to talk about this so take it as uneducated opinion but i don't think pills are right way to handle autism or adhd rather lifestyle change, surrounding yourself with right people and right environment
Yeah yeah whatever I am struggling like crazy in life not getting anywhere because I'm not on meds. Some people need them, Surrounding yourself with the right people is important and I will admit that a social life is needed to stay sane, I don't have one of those and I don't have friends anymore and I refuse to go back into having friends because it's a lot of emotional shit that I don't have time for plus friends in your 30's costs money and I'm broke.
Some days I think I'm just lazy but I know there's something wrong with me.
removed - context wasn't there - was an asshole comment.
I don't make my family or friends my therapist i think that's awful thing to do not only for me but for them too not that they're qualified to be one to begin with
When is the eventually going to come and why single out autists by it if it's environment related, i'm working just fine as a closed system and what gets dealt to me from outside world is not my fault because i'm different, i don't see your point
Feel free ask me questions though i get the feeling you just don't have good context here o/
I'm sorry you're right I don't know the full context and I am sorry. PotatoPie is one of the greatest usernames I've ever seen. I swear I didn't even realize it until now. Made my day.
