Not to speak for the other guy but i guess i think it's just not a medical issue. Im diagnosed autistic and adhd but honestly I don't think there's anything wrong with me, i just dont like certain things that are very popular and i get bored by certain things that other people find fascinating. But like they prescribed me adderall and duloxetine and idk they kinda numbed me a little bit and let me focus on boring stuff more, but it didn't change that i didn't like those things and i think im allowed to just not like large crowds and intense eye contact. I dont need a doctor to find a cocktail of drugs that will make me someone im not.

So yeah im a grown man and i decided I didn't want treatment anymore, but if i wasn't as grown or as willing to take doctors advice with a grain of salt, id just be a drugged out zombie that was chemically forced to live a life i dont want.

    yeah, i think that's the essence of the neurodiversity paradigm i've been talking about.
