    Yes and no. I knew a guy that was biking and had an accident. He lost his legs. He because an athlete, did sailing and climbed mountain and stuff. He still couldn’t use a normal bike. Do you get what I mean? You can do self-help as much as you want but you can’t ask a blind person to look at the sky.

    Or more like you can ask, but you’ll probably get a blank stare.

    Sorry for the bad joke

    Or maybe it’s time to understand that mental issues aren’t as clearcut as viruses that you can test in a lab. As long as we don’t understand the fine grain of how the whole brain work (and so far we only have ideas about it, not the whole story), the yes/no diagnostic will stay a dead end imo.

    Sorry to hear you have trouble though, I hope you still lives ok <3 good luck!

    We all know the medical system is flawed and adopts a paternalist / validist approach to neurodiversity (not to mention straight up corruption by big pharma). I don’t want to fetishize self-diagnostic, but if I went to my doctor to say “I’m depressed”, nobody will doubt my experience, so why would it be any difference for neurodivergence.
