I’d upgrade the depression away from my brain and give myself the ability for hyperfocus at will and to turn off sensory issues. Taking the autism and ADHD away altogether would leave me a different human, idk that almost feels like dying a little bit, or being lobotomized. Wouldn’t want to lose a part of my brain that makes me me. But super valid to want to be neurotypical!
Thinking about it, if it counts as an organ, idk if I wouldn’t rather change my immune system to stop attacking healthy tissue and get better at attacking viruses instead. Tough choice.

It’s funny, there’s a local program where people can anonymously ask adults and kids with various handicaps questions they wouldn’t dare ask them directly and “would you rather not have it” is always one of them. The adults always dodge the question by saying that it’s not as bad as it seems and so on and then the kids always reply like you did “I would much rather not have any issues!”

The adults: I learned to live with it and now it became part of my identity
The kids: this sucks! everyone’s mean to me and the world makes no sense!

Fuck. I felt seen/attacked by that on both counts.
