Do you like the concept of being diagnosed with a "mental illness" by doctors who dont know a damn thing about you?

Idk, in school i was one of those kids who was in Special education. The school thought that there was something wrong with me mentally. I mean, i appreciate them taking the time to recognize that i have something wrong with me 🙄 But did they seriously had to call in a specialist to try to tell me I have a "mental illness" because of the way i acted? I was child!!! All children are weird!! How you gonna sit down with me and observe me for ONE DAY and tell me who i am? I just hated that. Maybe im overreacting but, what was the point in that? But now the same thing is happing to my sister who is 8!!! PEOPLE, LET ME CLEAR THIS OUT FOR YOU, YOU CAN NOT DIAGNOSE A CHILD!!! SO STOP TRYING!!! Stop trying to prove that you know shit cuz you got your phd or whatever degree you got. I mean, you can give a piece of paper to anybody and call them a specialist! Good God. Sorry for the long rant but im just done. Im pretty sure I dont have Asperger🙄🙄🙄 Im pretty sure i have ADHD of some sort but nobody wants to diagnose me with that. I think im aware of who i am.

Hard to say -- some people need help to varying extents, but I think we often try too hard to make everyone uniform and cram them into predetermined molds. History is filled by people who MADE THAT HISTORY because they were different. As long as you don't hurt someone else, be yourself and bless you and be happy and filled with joy.
