My diagnosis. The psychologist talked to me for 5 minutes then she said, she was sure I’m autistic and she was reasonably confident that I had ADHD. "But just to dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s, let’s just do the rest of the assessment. Seven more hours of tests and talking and a questioning of my mother later, both were confirmed.
Try to see it the other way round. I was always considered smart but lazy and distracted. I always struggled with myself because I thought I wasn’t living up to my potential because I was lazy and couldn’t mobilize enough willpower to succeed. That always stressed me out even more. Now that I know I am autistic and most people with my profile are not even able to work at all, let alone get a university degree, I can instead be proud of what I achieved. Just take it as an opportunity to be kinder to yourself.
What is the harm in trying it with the flying spaghetti monster? That’s one of the most funny arguments. As if the alternative to atheism is belief in your god. Like there aren’t a million other ones to choose from. No thank you. If I ever cast my lot with a god, (which is very doubtful) I’ll choose one that at least has a sense of humor.
since @vaseltarp@lemmy.world likes history so much, they should take a look at the crusades, or the inquisition. Religion does enough evil things nowadays but those were real low points.
