"Böyle merak edeceğim şeyler olduğunda her zamankinden daha çok kendim olurum; böyle durumlarda sınırlı hayatım bana yetmez, içimden bir şeyler sıkıştırır, boğar beni kosasından çıkmak isteyen bir kelebek gibi olurum."

Do you consider ADHD or/and Autism a disability? These conditions are classified as developmental disabilities, which means they affect how a person grows and learns.
They are not the same as learning disabilities, which affect specific skills like reading or math. People with developmental disabilities have the right to receive accommodations in their work and school environments, such as extra time, breaks, or assistive technology. However, some people may feel reluctant to ask for these accommodations, because they don't want to label themselves as disabled. I think this is the wrong way of thinking. I compare it to my situation of having poor eyesight. Without glasses or contacts, I see very little, just blurry blobs. Does that make me disabled? Maybe, but I don't let it stop me from living my life. I use glasses and contacts to correct my vision and make it easier for me to function and it is never questioned. Asking for help for ADHD and Autism related challenges should be seen in the same way as wearing glasses.

According to science, you start off as coal and you end up as coal.
Maybe that was the real life lesson.
