Why do people care?
Like, I think I'm in this picture, as I'm sure I've got at least a moderate bit of autism/ADHD, but it's not that I worry it's "not bad enough to seek treatment." It's just that I've built up solid coping mechanisms, and a formal diagnosis just doesn't hold any weight with me.
Like, I don't understand why I would even want or bother with seeing a doctor about it.
But maybe I'm just on the "less severe" end of people represented by this meme, or maybe I've just had more time to build up systems for dealing with it or something. Idk.
๐ค well lah-di-dagh, check out their royal highness and their "coping mechanisms"...
๐ฅฒ I'm happy for you tho
