...you have an advanced degree in psychology and you don't know that "psychopath" is a stigmatizing and outdated term?

Someone down the line instilled in society the collective belief that "neurodivergent people are utterly incapable of being good parents" which... obviously bad!

But then some part of the ND community went ahead and fought back with "neurodiversity does not affect our ability to be parents whatsoever, so, shut it!"

Which means that there are ND people out there abusing their kids and then saying that nothing could or should be done about it because they're depressed so it's okay.

My mother insists that, up until I "suddenly" became suicidal at age fourteen, I was a perfectly "normal" kid.

I'm kind of wondering what my older siblings were like in their early years, because most of my childhood was spent either crying or enacting violence on unsuspecting people and things.

As a bipolar person, all the representation I've had falls into three categories:

-murderers and other abhorrent villains
-several characters that I wrote myself
-one series of screenshots from a police show about a guy comparing his bipolar to a physical disability
Just once, I'd like to be able to look up something about abuse without being inundated by articles blaming borderlines, narcissists, and "sociopaths".

For many years, I had this persistent fantasy - to buy a copy of the DSM, highlight and annotate it to point out which of my family members have what symptoms, and then throw it in my mother's face the next time she insisted that everyone in our family is "normal", that we can't possibly be crazy.
