An Industry of Madness?

Thankfully, being transgender is no longer seen as a mental illness. Neurodiverse people are now coming to the forefront as well as people who simply see the world differently and are not "mentally ill".

After years of struggling socially, I stumbled upon Asperger's syndrome and found that it literally explained everything about the way I view the world and interact with others. Yes, my childhood was very tough because I was medicated and misunderstood but had I been born 50 years ago, I would have been shipped off to an asylum!

Thank God we're making some progress as a society at least.
