But hey, if you think it's cool to be depressed/autistic/whatever other disability... well, more power to you. Myself, I'd... |

I don't know where this "most" comes from. Myself, I'd take a cure any day of the wee... |

For example, in MY experience: Marijuana is cool, never been bothered about it. Vegans... oh my... thos... |

I'm Brazilian, but I find the idea of "autistic sleep over" weird as ****.

I, for one, would love to be un-diagnosed. But I got it under dsm-IV and dsm-V...

My opinion at least. |

Do it if you can afford it, that's what I believe.
I like the idea of a trained professional evaluating me.
Who knows, you might learn something new about yourself.
I truly wish you well, good luck. |
