| It makes me more aware of my issues, not only in the moment, but throughout my life. I not only become very self-aware, but also more sensitive, which is not a good combination. It makes me really hate myself. I also start to have this insanely good memory of when I was really young, but that's besi... |

I read that 12% of people have been diagnosed with ADHD, and that 1 in 68 are estimated to have some type of ASD, although that is just an estimation, and 47% of those are PDD-NOS.
