Sometimes a diagnosis opens your eyes to better understanding and a more clear direction towards healing. That's how it was for my PTSD and my ADHD. They were eye-opening because I finally understood. I wasn't just "weird" or "different" or "weak". I had something I could point to that helped me understand. This is the same way.

I apologize for offending you , my kiddo pointed out I used poor of word choice. My Aspergers - self diagnosis. In using coveted I meant search or seek a diagnosis. Not the word I used. The response was meant to show as we look for a label the research is not scientific. And, also if we believe something will help us then it usually will, positive thinking. As someone ones said to me it can be self soothing to help us heal. Also by quagmire all was meant is the issues we find ourself withe you are going through many of the same ones that I and everyone else are in or went through. So again, no disrespect was meant, and I apologize again.
