While I don't doubt that I'm somewhere on the spectrum, I do wonder if maybe I would have been better off if I never did diagnosed, if that makes sense.

I've seen and met many incorrectly diagnosed kids. They weren't getting the help they needed, and in general were allowed to go around doing whatever they liked. Screaming, running around, kicking people, bullying me. And they were untouchable because of their diagnosis.

Yeah, I think that causes another problem in itself, others looking from the outside in, under the mindset that everyone on the spectrum has some beehive mentality and should be made excuses for. I admit, I did have unusual enough behaviour as a kid to warrant referrals and such beforehand, but at the same time I don't know if that was to do with my upbringing, I didn't exactly have much in the way of a poignant role model or resources, just as an example, by the time I got the internet at home, most of my friends had already had that for years and the novelty had worn off for them, so I fell behind and ending up looking like some OCD computer nerd in stark contrast. (well, at least much more than I actually do/did care for using the internet, lol)
