I'd say go for it! Just like the woman from the first chapter, putting a name to the thing that's going on with them is often very helpful for people with mental difficulties. Just keep in mind that if you do get a diagnosis, that doesn't mean there's anything "wrong" with you! Having a developmental disability might make you feel at a disadvantage compared to neuro-typical people, but mostly it just means you're different. Your strengths just happen to be in different areas than the average individual. :)
i could relate with the woman (with ASD) i could get very good scores for subjects that i like, but often flunked the subjects that i don't like. horrible at P.E, & very bad at making friends.
after college, i could never keep a job that required me to communicate with people, so i became a freelance artist. my relationship with my mom had always been quite volatile. she often gets frustrated with me, but i don't get what is it that she wants from me.
& when i get overwhelmed i'd cut myself off from the world, & bury myself in comics & drawing.
since i was a little girl, i have always wondered if there's something wrong with me...
