My stepbrother is autistic, though were not close at all (I hardly see him). But my mom did tell me once that they got him a t-shirt he liked that said "I'm autistic, what's your excuse?" and I think that t-shirt sums up why some people "wish" they had a disorder. I occasionally feel so hideously awkward and socially inept that I wish I had an official disorder to justify it. That there was something genuinely wrong in my brain, not just that I suck at life. I mean, I'd still suck at life but at least I could have a scapegoat =\

No, believe me, I definitely know where you're coming from. It's hard NOT to wish for that kind of thing sometimes, when things have gotten bad and you have no one to blame but yourself. =/ and you realize it's a terrible way to think, but sometimes you can't help it. It doesn't make you a bad person or anything. XD; Excuses make things easier, right? They might not be the right thing, but they do make things easier. Wanting that sort of justification isn't wrong, it's a natural kind of response.

I'm talking more about the kind of person who actually, honest to god wishes they had a disorder, with all the symptoms, not for an excuse but just ... because? I've actually met people like that, and it's a little alarming, because you're asking for pain and a lot of trouble and hardship, and THAT makes me go ... =/
