To get this out of the way: I definitely have some sort of disability. I was diagnosed with Autism at an early age which amounted to a couple coping strategies and some antidepressants, and not much more. To put it lightly, school fucking sucked! Couldn’t focus for shit, couldn’t remember to do anything, or even to plan to do things, seemingly couldn’t stop procrastinating even when I really wanted to, had a habit of sitting around being super anxious about not doing anything but unable to make myself do anything, etc. etc. With my whole gender dealie I was too depressed to really care about improving myself, but now that I have a little investment in my future and I’m examining whats going wrong with my life and well. Did you know that a person with ADHD has a 50% chance to give it to their kids? My mom has ADHD and while theres overlap between autism and ADHD the executive dysfunction and difficulty paying attention seems to be more of an ADHD thing, and some people have both so who knows? I know that my moms condition made life impossible for her until she got a perscription, so maybe I can get one too and it’ll fix my brain a little bit.
