OK, I gotcha now. I can see why you'd wonder. Even though I was dx'ed at an absurdly old age, there's no doubt my "problems" existed since very young childhood. The main problem ended up being labeled & thusly treated as the "family scapegoat" - I think b/c not only was I difficult to get (esp. for my very self-centered mother), but b/c I was incredibly naïve, easily duped, etc., & the kind of family I was born into "needed" somebody to blame since they were so very dysfunctional, even by the "normal" definitions of dysfunctional (ha ha, I know how ridiculous that sounds, too!)
