support
A solid support system is invaluable for one's recovery from psychiatric illness and mental health issues.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a complicated mental health problem that is hard to make sense of put together; many people tend to confuse Schizophrenia with multiple personality disorders, but has no connection with it whatsoever. "Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe mental disorder that affects the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others" (Bhandari, 2022). It can also be defined as: "Schizophrenia refers to both a single condition and a spectrum of conditions that fall under the category of psychotic disorders" (Cleveland Clinic, 2018). Many behaviors or experiences may be a part of this disorder; or the behaviors could be due to schizophrenia. "When schizophrenia is active, symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, trouble with thinking and lack of motivation" (American Psychiatric Association, 2020).

Science Behind Transmission of Norms and Values
Functionalists support the process of socialisation in society as the main agencies teach individuals the expected norms, values and attitudes in society which will create social order and prevent deviance, (item b). A functionalist which supports socialisation is Talcott Parsons who introduces his theory on the ‘organic analogy’. Parsons refers to the organs in the body as a reflection of how society operates in a stable manner. Socialisation benefits society as it teaches all the correct norms and values to all in society from a young age. This creates social cohesion, meaning that society becomes stable, which reduces and helps to prevent crime and deviance in society. Talcott Parsons introduced the term ‘value consensus’, which is formed due to socialisation. Value consensus is when all in society are in an agreement, leading to social stability. Agencies of socialisation, like family, reinforce value consensus. Family acts as primary socialisation, and it teaches the key norms and values of society, such as manners and societal norms. Such is taught from a very young age, which is significant in reinforcing value consensus as it unites all in society by creating agreement. However, a Marxist interpretation may dispute this as they would argue that primary socialisation is different for upper-class children and working-class children as the bourgeoisie teach their children the exploitation of the working class.

Autism Disorder
"Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or autism, is a broad term used to describe a group of neurodevelopmental conditions" (Cherney, 2018). Disparities in communication and social interaction are characteristics of these disorders. People with ASD frequently exhibit repetitive or constrained inclinations or behaviors. Since signs of autism often arise in the first two years of life, it is referred to as a "developmental disorder" but can be diagnosed at any age.

ADHD
ADHD stands for - Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. It is a neurological condition that impairs your capacity for sustained focus, stillness, and behavioral restraint. It is defined as: "Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health condition that can cause unusual levels of hyperactivity and impulsive behaviors" (Healthline, 2020). Children and teenagers experience it, and it can last throughout adulthood. ADHD is well spotted during the early school years of a child, where they have problems paying attention in class. According to reports, boys are more likely to have the disorder than girls.

Exam Anxiety
There is no denying the fact that most people experience anxiety when it comes to tests or exams. Most people tend to have anxiety before or during exam/tests; which may later have an impact on learning and damage the performance of the test and school academics. People might become so stressed out that they are genuinely unable to perform to their full potential in circumstances when there is pressure and a good performance matters. A little bit anxiety or stress may be good to help a person perform better, but excessive anxiety may lead to interference with personal life and cause some serious problems to the health of the person experiencing it.

My Experience as Neurodivergent Adult
Perfectly fine and happy one minute, the next minute so exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally there isn’t anything left to do but lay in bed and sleep. We have all been there. As an extroverted introvert, this is a constant battle I face. Most days I feel completely drained after work, self-isolating until I return to work the next day. My days off are spend in self-isolation, usually working on my novel, or playing Fallout ™ or Wolfenstein ™. I occasionally go to the theme parks, but only if I wear my Boise ™ noise-cancelling headphones. As a child, I was energetic, extremely outgoing, and enjoyed being with friends and around people.
