“How are you still alive?” The doctor’s question still rings in his ears.
After being told by a battery of psychologists and psychiatrists that nothing could be done for him, Scott sat on the steps outside the final doctor’s office, holding the results of his day-long exam with the Neuro-Psychiatrist.
Impaired organization, traumatic attachment disorder, difficulties with interpersonal relating, generalized anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and chronic medically resistant major depression.

The doctor informed him that he had never seen anyone with his scores still alive at his age.
In his life, Scott had been told it would be difficult to work with other people, likely find it challenging to complete a high school education, would never be able to sustain long-term relationships, and should avoid all tasks that require prolonged focus.
