Aspergers is definitely neural and not a mental illness, but I was just using his example of his own feelings toward his disability and posing the same question toward those with mental illness in general.
I believe that my own MI has given me a unique perspective and understanding that probably most Nons lack.
Still, I think I have to backtrack on what I said in the start of this thread, as my depression is on the upswing and kicking my butt ATM. I definitely don't like feeling the way I do right now.
