WylrPnufh So, I don't have much control with Nuzlockes. Usually, I cheat. Dx. Especially on Gym leaders. But this one is 100% legit, and going well. >Start with Cyndaquil >Catch Pidgey >Catch Bellsprout >Beat Faulkner like a boss >Beat Bugsy and Rival with no Problem >Catch a ******** Scyther in the Contest >Beat Whitney. (sleep powder, sand-attack, attack) LIKE A BOSS. >Grind Pokeathalon for Leaf Stone >Rando-Encounter kills Lola the Quilava Q_Q >Rival in Ecruteak kills Pidgeotto. >Catch a ******** Aipom. - Aipom (Lv. 23) - Scyther (Lv. 22) - Victrebell (Lv. 22) Fighting Morty. This is going well, actually. I have a feeling I'll have a hard time with Jasmine. TechScyther should make Chuck easy. Go you. xd That SSilver Nuzlocke I started way back ended in a crash and burn against Claire, but I kept going and beat Lance anyway for completion's sake. xd When the inevitable Grey comes out, I fully intend to Nuzlocke it. xd

Wantcookie Cabron LaSwan That's like saying that knowing you are drawing a hand wrong will magically teach you how to draw it properly. There's a difference between knowing that you function differently than the norm and having a solid enough grasp on the norm to emulate it. Barring autism, I can't think of any 'disorders' that would directly inhibit your ability to evaluate yourself objectively.
And then there's the whole question of whether or not you want to change it. For example, you could make the conscious choice to set a bajillion alarms every day and write yourself memos for everything, and in doing so never forget or be late for anything. But if you don't care about being late or forgetting s**t, why would you go through the effort of changing it just so you meet someone else's expectations for how you are 'supposed' to function? Point taken. *Sigh* Part of the problem is that I'm consistently bombarded with "this is how it should work" from different people who give different answers, and then given a follow-up "this is how it does work" from even more people. I've heard that ADD is, technically speaking, miscroscopic on the autism scale. I have no idea if it's true, but it's a statement that's been made. I've also heard that it's just a matter of laziness on the part of the individual, but I can tell you that's not true. I've actually done that, set an infinite number of alarms and such. I've roped other people into it, too, asking them to help me out when they can. Just talk to Rhed. Eventually I ignore it all and go back to the way it was, though. I'm told the tendency to continue making the same mistake and/or forget/not care about the consequences is another trait of ADD, but I don't know. I remember for the longest time I honestly thought that was a normal thing, to learn the lesson and completely fail to implement it. I think all the problems would disappear overnight if people collectively took the word 'should' out of their vocabulary and just focused on appreciating all the different 'does'es. Using terms like 'disorder' just promotes the mentality that something is broken and needs to be fixed. One of my best friends from high school is bipolar and I have yet to find something she hasn't been able to make much more exciting. Being able to consistently forget about what you 'have' to be doing or where you 'have' to be at any given time has probably helped you to do a lot more of what you want to do, too.
(Also, that is more commonplace a thing than you think. Except instead of forgetting what happened last time, "normal" people usually just try to convince themselves that this time, things will be different.)

Oh, sure, but what I want isn't always what's good for me or anyone else. But you're right, "should" is always something I've hated because all it does is mobilize people out of a sense of obligation and guilt. So wait, what could we replace "disorder" with that doesn't sound so bad? "Abnormality" still has the same negative connotation... Maybe "deviation?"

I need to eat someone and have a sudden growth spurt.
Too bad neither of these things will happen ; w;

True, but who decides what is good for you but you? To some people, being happy in the moment is a higher priority than being healthy or well-liked or financially secure, and who is to say there's anything wrong with that?
How about 'quirk'? That's what they call it when it doesn't have a medical name associated with it. xd
