    My problem with medication is that I was given meds for ADHD way back when it was called ADD. One medication did nothing at all. Another medication did nothing to help the symptoms, but when I took it I became a 13 year old psychopath. I was mean and hurtful and angry toward everyone, and nobody around me deserved it.

    Now I’m 45. My brain doesn’t work “right” but I’ve sort of figured out how to make it do what I want. Id have to spend a crazy amount of money to maybe get medication that might work if I can get it, and there’s just too much “If” involved for me to really pursue it.

      dude they really fucked up everything by creating autism levels. they had it right saying pdd-nos were retards under the autism spectrum, generalized autism was middle ground retard derpy and aspergers was genius level you’re gonna make it in life autism.

      it wasn’t cause hans aspergers was a nazi, it was an insurance change. they just treat level ones better and the level 2’s and 3’s are now considered derpy retards who have no chance at life and everyone who sees the diagnosis thinks you’re a fucking retard.

      JUST LIKE THEY FUCKED UP WITH SAYING IF YOU’RE NOT HYPERACTIVE YOU DON’T NEED STIMULANTS I HAVE A FUCKING LEARNING DISABILITY!!!
