I agreeEscalation leads people to go places and look at things that they would never have considered before.
my refusal to come to terms with my autism for so long, all of the stress I've built up over most of my life trying to mask and appear "normal"
I relate. I've OCD. When I found out it has no cure, it was a very hard blow and I couldn't accept it.I do know what it feels like to not accept a diagnosis and to have to mask. I was diagnosed with ADHD about 20 years ago and finally accepted the diagnosis about 2 years ago and have made significant improvements since then. It’s hard to accept that there might be something wrong or different about us.
At first I felt terrible and didn't even want to tell my parents. I eventually told them, but I still keep hiding it from others. And sometimes I still doubt if it's true I have it...
Btw, I also have symptoms of ADHD
