    If he gets through life alright, there’s no need for a diagnosis.

      Sometimes tho, the diagnosis is not about getting “fixed”. It’s about getting answers for your life. I got my diagnosis when I was in my 30s. It changed the way I see myself and the way I react to the world, but not because I’m not “fixed”; it changed it because now I know there is a reason for things being this way and I know how I work.

          Hey, if you already know, do you even need a diagnosis?

      Yeah, but he does struggle with a lot of things. Pretty sure he also has ADHD. I know folks who were helped immensely by meds.
