I was never diagnosed because I had a brother who was, so of course I was compared to that and as a result, "oh, well compared between them, he looks normal, he's just lazy and needs to work harder. This one is obviously not developmentally challenged, if he was, he'd be just like the other one. Go do your homework and go to college, normal kid!"

Now I'm taking the steps in adulthood to hopefully get a proper diagnosis, but even if I get it, the damage has already been done. I can only hope to share with my friends and use the knowledge to help others understand me.
