A doctor said I had schizo-affective disorder once. It was based, his opinion, if we can call it that, on the answer to one of his diagnosis questions. All questions doctors ask you are based on some criteria; if you think you have some original disorder nobody's had before, don't quit your day job.
Anyway, he said I had schizo-affective disorder, he wrote it down somewhere, and all that; based on my response to the question: whether or not I believed that other people could hear my thoughts. I said, Yes. But, What I really said was, I wanted people to be able to hear my thoughts, because there's currently not a law against telepathic harassment.
When I used to go to doctors, I'd get a different diagnosis with each knew doctor I went to, based on whatever mood I happened to be in at the time. Maybe a girl had just broken my heart, or I was drunk. Stuff like that.
I'd like to know more about this neurodiversity idea you're talking about. For once, it's something I've actually been personally condemned, sorry, 'labeled' with, so I have the refreshing sensation of being able to discuss this matter openly, without being convicted of social appropriation. Often I talk about things I have no right to talk about, being, as I am, insane, and not Jewish. . . . People tend to bow out whenever I come around. I cannot be sure, living where I do, if that's them being rural confederate flag wagging rednecks, or me having tourettes syndrome. I have actually been diagnosed with tourettes syndrome,; so I have that little bit more leverage here, too. Though, it's debatable whether or not the doctor at the time confused tourettes syndrome with a sense of humor.
Once, in a session, I bursted out: Who's Tourette. And the doctor and his whole family died.
