If I had a time machine I would go back in time and give all my friends their mental health diagnosis before they had to live through the really tough parts.

  “Hey, buddy. Just so you know, you’re autistic.”

  “What? Hey, fuck you. That was uncalled for.”

  But would medical professionals accept your claim to get the support they require?

    Me: “Just FYI, you’ve got undiagnosed ADHD.”

    Friend 1: “Wow, what can I do about this?”

    Me: “You’re too poor to access mental health care, and most professionals haven’t accepted this as a diagnosis for your racial/gender cohort. So, unfortunately, there’s nothing to be done.”

    Friend 2: “What about me?”

    Me: “You’re transgender.”

    Friend 2: “What the fuck did you just call me?!”

      “I think he called you a trains gender. Are you related to Thomas the Train?”

    Im just talking about the people I know now where they are a lot more comfortable because they contextualize what happened.

  Do you think any of them would listen? I believe in your quest because I personally have friends, myself included, that would have benefitted from this service. I just wonder if some guy came to me and said he was my friend from the future and that I needed evaluated, if I would take it seriously at all.

    I largely agree with Siddhartha that wisdom can only be gained through experience. I just think of all the times I knew something intellectually but didn’t understand it sufficiently to properly act on it until I lived it. But there is a more fun corollary from Zen Without Zen Masters, “If you think you can get beyond pleasure without going through it, we are definitely on different trips.”

      Wisdom also teaches us that learned knowledge can be as beneficial as wisdom. This is what allows society to advance.

  I’d tell my best friend to question her sexuality. Like right now, not 30 years later when it is too late to have an operation.
