[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 745452, member: 22819"] Wow, Swot. Now I want to get tested. That sounds like me too, what you describe. And maybe my son too. I'd never heard anything like that, but it makes so much sense. I'm a dance teacher and have been teaching since I was 15 and had my own studio by 23. Other than that, I did a bit of fundraising that involved lots of writing and keeping on top of the numbers, but never really had a boss or tried any other kind of job, and I don't think I could. I've just been lucky in being able to set myself up with a life that doesn't require me to do a lot of the things that I find difficult. I don't have a car because the town is miniscule, so I don't have to deal with paperwork, insurance, rules... I don't have a credit card (never have) or online banking. I live almost off-grid, so minimal contact with the "system" in general. As I see my son's and my mother's mental health problems coming out of the closet, I wonder how much of my own life choices have been made to accommodate my own weaknesses/issues. Sorry to hijack, I just suddenly had this huge epiphany from Swot's post. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
