Major Malfunction?
Recently, I’ve been living with my Uncle in the midst of the huge fallout from my Mother and my Aunt butting heads.
And I have to say that I’ve been experiencing a pretty rude awakening.
My Uncle loves me, full stop. But that doesn’t mean he’s gonna take it easy on me just because I’m his nephew. Pretty much the opposite, in fact. He’s berated me several times about my behavior, and while he’s no psychiatrist, he’s about the next best thing in the world: a bartender.
And damn it all, he’s right about me.
I have some serious issues, and I think it’s only got something to do with my supposed ADD. He tells me that it’s like I’m disconnected from the rest of the world. I’ve been reflecting back on my life and I think he’s right. Do I have some form of autism or something? I don’t know, but I need to find out. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against people who are autistic… and if I am myself, then its something I’m going to have to accept it.
I’m going to start by looking at my options. I’m hoping that I have a VA benefit that will help me in getting properly diagnosed and medicated. I refuse to let this ruin my hopes and dreams for the future. I will account for it, make adjustments for it, and then move on.
