-But if you want to start a life over, you can't, because people identify some of your quirks with a condition, discriminating immediately. You can't control what they know when they already know a bit or everything. You get your diagnosis without even asking for it.
The problem here is that, as not every human wants to learn all the symptoms of autism and the fact that we are all different, many of us are just tagged, with no proof, preventing us to choose our own destiny, preventing us to choose, at times.
I guess that this also affects NT's, as many companies and projects prefer to hire certain attitudes or conditions, making some aspies and NT's more or less prompt to get a job in certain job areas if they expose their psychological analysis.
Is this in fact affecting us?
