She might be pursuing a formal diagnosis and meant that had she gone through this process as a child, it would have been easier as it’s easier to relearn social skills as a neurodiverse child than as an adult. I recently got my own diagnosis on the neurodiverse spectrum and while it’s liberating to know why my brain works the way it does, it’s hard relearn “normal” social behaviours because I’m in my late 20s and I’ve spent all of my formative years not understanding my brain.
It’s not an easy process at all to get any sort of diagnosis like this in Ireland, even when you pay privately like I did. But at the same time, Keelin seems like the type of self-diagnose with anything buzzy and popular in the area of mental health. I’m fairly certain she hopped on the BPD train back when that was all the range to diagnose yourself with.
.Wouldn’t get a look in if they were stocked in smyths. People are so predictable sometimes.
