Back in mid-2001 when I was 11 going on 12, I remember going there and being tested but I don't think my mother even told me why she was taking me to have testing done. Maybe she didn't think that I'd be able to understand. So basically I just went.

Indeed, even know I knew I had it, I knew nothing about it until my sophomore year in high school, when I started researching it on the school computers.

I trusted them. Ever since, I've regularly told them they're full of crap. Don't trust inferior beings with something as delicate and important as your mind. You could lose it.

You have got a strange idea of interesting... They never told me the dates when I'd be seeing a doctor of some description so I would come home as normal, only to discover some healthcare professional laying in wait for me. And dragging is dragging - I'm not sure how to explain that one.

TheZach-- that sounds awful! What did they think you'd tell the shrink in private? The truth?


Thats exactly what they were afraid of. My parents were trying to make it look like I could not be a funtioning member of society. They would not let me get a job, drivers licence, telling me that I couldent drive because aspbergurs and they gave my brother a truck who wrapped it around a tree in a DUI and then they gave him a car afterwords after paying for his lawyer. I don't even talk to my family anymore.

My grandma told me that I was diagnosed bi-polar (which later was proved to be a mis-diagnosis) and my parents were furious with her, to the point that I wasent allowed to talk to her anymore.

Other than being concerned about having to take medication, not really. If anything, I look forward to opportunities to learn more about my life and ways to fight my situation.

Who are the inferior beings? NTs? People who spent nine years studying psychology? Or people who don't tell you what you want to hear?
