Why couldn't I have just been made normal?

FUB39

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 understand this. But after such a long time my position is now that the world is intolerant. Therefore it is more at fault than me. Without the constant drive for conformism and the need to placate 'normal' people, we wouldn't feel like this. It makes me angry... and not at myself. I don't want to minimise what you are going through, but here's a question: what if it wasn't the worst thing about you?
