Is Your Diagnosis Helpful?

In psychology, it really ought to be.

I hope that if you feel “different,” that’s okay with you. (Author’s photo)

Note: today I am absolutely NOT talking about psychosis (Schizophrenia, for example). That’s a whole different topic.

I read a great deal about Autism, life on the spectrum, and neurodivergence lately. I hope if you believe that the diagnostic criteria fit you, you will find specific ways in which it can be even a little easier to live with your brain.
