Destroying trolls one day at a time. This trend of bullying =eople who think differently by laughing at their journey is over. I will n=t stop standing up for myself and people like me. We're not crazy. We =re fucking geniuses.

Finally getting my official IQ test so I can shut you haters the fuck up. l=will be a Mensa member mark my words. I took IQ tests for money when I was=in high school to help a psychologist with her PhD dissertation. I always =cored in the 98th percentile on standardized testing besides math, that wa= 93. That means I tested higher than 95.5 of the population. This is witho=t studying, skipping and sleeping through most classes, being addicted to =rugs and generally not giving a fuck about outcomes, just being really com=etitive and interested in knowledge. I'll never forget her face when s=e sat me and my parents down to tell me how well I tested.

I'll never forget the doctors faces when they reviewed my X-rays, CT an= MRI scans following trauma to my skull from my ex. They feared irreparabl= brain damage but found to their surprise my brain was in fact incredibly =ealthy, more brain activity than the average person, enlarged corpus collo=um just like Albert Einstein. A trait that now is linked to autism, a dise=se that runs in my family, two of my cousins have been diagnosed, I worry =e all have a tinge of it. Other science has suggested it could be an adapt=tion to prevent against Alzheimer's, a disease which runs heavily in m= blood line, has taken the lives of so many of my ancestors, a disease I b=lieve developed as a maladaptation to trauma. I think somehow my genes mut=ted to gift me this adaptation that would save me from the fate I could ha=e faced.

I think I have Asbergers. In fact I know it. I've been telling everyone=this since the day I learned it's existence in my psychology class. No=one ever wanted to believe me or admit they suspected it either out of fea= that it would destroy me but holy shit accepting this diagnosis is freein= me from my internal suffering, the fighting with myself. I need the world=to understand we need to educate people with diagnoses, not hide it from t=em while we attempt to treat and "heal" them without asking how =hey want to be treated.

My SAT I skipped every preparation class and smoked weed and drank instead.=Came in determined to outscore my highly intelligent, blue ribbon, honor r=l1 classmates. Oh and I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. So=I got myself through the tests essentially by guessing and rushing. I was =o unbothered by stress that I trusted my intuition instead of expecting my=elf to know every thing. This is how I outscored my classmates who had to =etake tests and prepare like their lives depended on it. I think they let =heir parental and societal pressure make their lives so much harder.

Somehow I knew I didn't have to choose success or happiness. I knew I c=uld do what I wanted and still do well in life. I think mg unwavering beli=f in myself and good luck is what got me as far as I did. Fuck I just wish=my story could motivate people to be themselves so much harder and stop be=ng paralyzed by perfomance anxiety and just know they're gonna kill it=

Yeah I'm taking the IQ test again. I need to know the results. I need t= reap the benefits of the community of people like me. I know I deserve a =ittle help for as long as I've suffered. I encourage all of you to do =he same. We all

deserve to be rewarded for our suffering in one way or ano=her. Seek help, seek answers, seek diagnosis these things set you free
