My depression is a mental illness. It is something I developed because of abandonment issues. I want that cured.
My anxiety is a mental illness. It is something I developed because of trauma. I want that cured.
My autism is not a mental illness. It is something I was born with. There are a lot of great things about being autistic. I am proud of my autism and I do not want that cured.
