Autism
So I have strong belief that I might be autistic, a higher functioning one mind you but one nonetheless. All my family and friends are telling me if I DO have it, that it's psychosomatic and they're so idealistic and believe in all this complete free will BS it sounds like it is all right out of The Secret. They're telling me I am the way I am because I chose to be the way I am. Therefore, I am the way I am. Circular argument BS, it kind of has me mad that people are so insensitive to real developmental problems. They just keep telling me, "Oh, you only have societal anxiety. See a therapist and you'll be fine."
Essentially, they've also been implying an autistic person can choose not to be autistic anymore, no matter where they fall on the spectrum. It's pretty ****ing irritating to see this sort of ignorance. The worst part about it is they all imply people who believe they're autistic and get checked out are only doing it to find excuses. Not one of these people has any ****ing idea how hard it is to do anything in life. All of them have been popular and well-liked but I'm the only one who hasn't ever been.
Let's hear your thoughts regarding autism being a scam or purely a matter of volition.
