I don't find your post to be "simplistic." You see, I am a brain damaged medical aspirant. I was abused as a child and still do. People around me (except my doctors) think I am on the autism spectrum. I am terrible at socializing, because my parents never allowed me to have friends or anything really which didn't involve education. Cause they are narrow minded and think me getting good grades will solve all of their problems. They have a mental myopia and a huge misunderstanding.

Yes, I am still abused and I still live with my parents. I want to get into med school and get out of here ASAP. I'd like to add I'll be eighteen this December, and med school here starts right after high school (after giving the medical entrance examination, of course, you are eligible for admission) Although I have so many disabilities and problems (this includes memory issues), I am still trying to be a doctor and a brilliant one for that matter.

It's my dream to save lives and I don't want anyone to take it away from me. Yes you are right. Advancements in psychiatry, therapy and counseling lead to even seemingly hopeless people become good and independent citizens. When I start my practice, I'll make sure to research on diseases and treatments, cause we all need it, not all of us are aware of this.
