Why couldn't I have just been made normal?

Anybody else just really effing angry? Like, I never asked for this. I hate it. Autism and ADHD together? Oh, lucky me... not. 

I'm recently diagnosed and up until this point, I've spent years thinking I struggled with my mental health and that I could try therapies and medication to treat it and make myself better. To find out that the majority of this is actually Autism and ADHD and there's not a damn thing I can do to make them go away, is honestly just soul-destroying. I hate it. I hate what it's made me. It's the absolute worst thing aout me and it's ruining my life. 

Anybody else just wish they could have been made normal?

  • I'm waiting on a diagnosis and I hate that I went all the way through school without any help and was expected to do normal stuff after leaving school. I wish there a cure but I know saying stuff like that upsets other people. I shouldn't have to be proud of being autistic when it is literally ruining my life. I envy kids who got diagnosis when they were little or people that went to a 'special school'. I understand what you mean.
