Have you ever been told you are “Special,” just because you fail to fit in with modern society? You aren’t alone! Many people are told they suffer from mental illnesses when their mental capacity can pick up on things that other people can’t. These people with hyperactive minds don’t really have any mental disorder at all sometimes, but rather they have a brain structure that would be superior in a different kind of society.

There have been many different names for people with these different special abilities. These names don’t normally fit the definition of the mental disorder described. This labeling is actually a form of control and prevention of knowledge.

With multiple people misdiagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, ADD, and ADHD, it is often wondered why this is, while people on the opposite side of the spectrum usually saliency suffering from borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia without even knowing it. Maybe this thing known as a disorder is actually something that was once beneficial to one’s own survival. I’m not saying people don’t suffer from developmental problems. However, most people diagnosed with these problems exert both a mental weakness, as well as a unique set of mental strengths.
