Is it even worth it to go through all what i would have to for a diagnosis? Just thinking about all the fighting id have to do to convince my parents to get me tested makes me sick. Would meds even help me??

I don't know where you are in the world, but most places you should be able to access a GP without your parents knowledge or consent. Minors are entitled to doctor patient confidentiality too - up to a point where it's appropriate to involve your parents if you're not deemed old enough to consent, but that's usually when you need specific treatment. The initial appointment is all yours. So you could start there & arrive with the evidence of your self diagnosis to present to a GP first. They'll probably give you some questioners to complete too, to validate the self diagnosis & add to the evidence. If you're able to get a referral for an official diagnosis that's probably when a GP will involve your parents but by this point with a GP's input you won't be advocating alone, they'll be recommending the referral too. If you're still studying there are accommodations that institutions have to allow that will help you through school/collage etc, so that in the least could be helpful. Hope this is helpful to get started :)

Sometimes a throwaway comment on the end of a caption turns into a whole thing.

I love learning how to do adult things like identifying whether I am hungry or sleepy

You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. "Hedonism" is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radial rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.

I am so serious about the way people are taught to view themselves as separate from and above any other animal being the root cause of a lot of problems. You're not better than a beast.
