I'm not sure if I'm treated any differently or not. I guess because I was always treated as the idiot anyway. My oldest sister expects me to just push through anyway. When I lived with her and her husband (from 16 to 18) I was treated as if I was criminal or something. Since I wasn't diagnosed at the time, I couldn't understand or explain why I was acting the way I was. They had this idea in their heads that I was living in some secret sin or something and that's why I was so moody. I was labeled "rebellious." even though I really tried my best to "behave" myself. But I would have these mood swings, so they took that as rebellion.

One time while I was at school, I started having a real bad episode, and sat in the girl's bthroom and cried hysterically the whole school day until the school bus came to pick us up. I honestly for the life of me could not understand why I was doing that. My brother in law cought wind of it, and he couldn't stop hounding me about it. I did not know how to explain it, so I just made something up and told him I felt oppressed. He told not to tell anyone about that ecause I would be taken to mental health. Later that day or the next day, I sat on my bed and started crying again. He came and sat down next to me and proceeded to tell me that I broke my c0venant with God.
