Mental heath wise I know that I like many others have my own issues. I have never sought labels for them as I have not felt the need with my personal issues although I have sought help. I have friends with children that are going through diagnosis and the best thing I have heard them say is that an autism diagnosis is not a problem or issue but an explanation. You have got this far in life so a diagnosis should not be an explanation and allow you to seek help with strategies to deal with some of the challenges that this presents and a better understanding of why you do some of the things you do. I like a stereotypical man don't talk enough about feelings and mental health but I am starting to learn and I think it is making me "better". Articles like this are so important as between the article and the comments people realize that they are not alone with their own struggles with mental health. Thank you.
