Many people struggle with undiagnosed ASD. They are labeled as lazy and indifferent. Others think they don't care about doing well. They often get mediocre or bad grades at school, and are not successful on the job, even though you would think they could do much better. They may have few friends, and feel all alone and misunderstood. Their undiagnosed disability is holding them back from enjoying the happiness and success they could otherwise achieve. Often they do not know why they are struggling with school, jobs and life. As a result, they often feel like failures and suffer from depression, even self-loathing. The lack of diagnosis also stands in the way of their getting treatment and therapy, which could help them maximize their potential in life.
