How Misjudging Space Creates Problems in Patients with TBI, ADHD, and ASD

i hear you well

I wonder how much of this is caused by neurodivergence vs this causes said neurodivergence. I was dual diagnosed adhd/Autism but that barely explained my CHRONIC depersonalization. Like fron waking up to going to bed for over 15 years chronic. Maybe a sensory issue, but what sense is overloaded so much that I'm depersonalized even at a calm baseline. And here we are. And I genuinely doubt my neurodivergence due to reversing the "symptoms" from a breakdown I had a while back (weird story, if you care to know, ask).

Addendum: I understand the philosophy of whether or not you're a fighter that determines how you should seek treatment. But I am a counterargumemt to this. I have been plagued with depersonalization and dull pressure-like headaches that can only be explained (as far as I can tell after living my whole life suffering from this) with binocular vision dysfunction issues. The depersonalization was unrelenting. I had (and still have) no executive functioning, as in no self control, my emotional state was (and still is) always neurotic. At some point in 2017, I was actually kind of fed up with how subhuman these symptoms made me. I had dropped out of college, working a dead end job and little sense of control of my life, well I still don't. I decided to actually use my membership and try to go to the gym consistently for once. One day, on a leg press, I have no clue how it happened, if your religious you could say a spirit took over me because I would have never done anything like this under my own volition but I lashed out and did a few HUNDRED reps. Yes, this actually happened to me. I was unconscious yet aware while it happened at the same time. It was brutal. As soon as I came to I cooled down for about 20 minutes and left. As soon as I walked out the door, I felt what can be described as a thunderclap headache it was so painful. As soon as it finished, the aforementioned pressure and headaches let up and my head felt perfectly comfortable and clear for the first time in my life. Depersonalization, brain fog, and executive dysfunction were all gone. It felt like entire brain regions were reactivating for the first time. I was justified in my suffering. I knew what impulse control was, and processing information all around me like crazy, I felt like a genius. And best of all I knew what confidence was supposed to feel like. I felt comfortable in my own skin for the first time in all my life. It lasted for about 10-12 hours until i woke up at 3AM the next morning feeling the pain/depersonalization return. ADHD? Autism? If these are lifelong conditions then how can they be reversed? I think binocular vision dysfunction is the only real cause of my suffering. The pain and setbacks I've endured from this I think are worthy of a substantial lawsuit. Watching myself grow up and lose out on opportunity after opportunity was jarring. Now this treatment is the only thing I live to see accomplished. It's my life's purpose.
