I've thought a lot about how subjective diagnosis is. I also always feel strange going into a doctor or therapist because I'm pretty smart and always do a lot of research beforehand, and I wonder how possible it is for me to heavily influence or even orchestrate what they end up concluding is happening, you know? I've had to be really careful NOT to do that with Isaac, to present things in a very "you tell me what's going on here" way as though I don't have a lot of ideas of my own pretty well developed already.
ETA: I left an extremely in depth comment on my own history, as I perceive it at least, with mental health in a comment above that took 3 parts. You don't have to be interested in this, I'm just saying it in case you are.
