I don't think having been diagnosed would have stopped the bullying, but at least I would have understood why...and maybe some people would have been more understanding that I wasn't being lazy and such. Not to mention if people had made fun of me for being autistic as opposed to 'retarded' it would have perhaps made a little more sense.

But yeah not so sure having the diagnoses would have changed much...and as of now don't see what benefit having the diagnoses removed would have.
