discharge without conviction.
so it didn't seem to bother my lawyer but the judge (in summarising her summary) pulled out the contractions in her case.
she did appeal to precedent where diminished responsibility was considered relevant to a boy with aspergers... who hit someone unconscious.
and then she appealed to how a conviction would negatively impact on my med school application.
the judge said she didn't know how rare my abilities to teach at uni are (of course they are not rare there are far too many people willing to do that kind of work for free). that conviction wouldn't result in my being declined entry to med school - but that i would need to declare it. as i would need to declare health issues impacting on practice.
diminished responsibility.
incoherent case.
she said... that what i did could be taken to indicate low frustration tolerance. something like that... so i was thinking about that... the letter i got from my current nurse... saying that i didn't seem to have a problem with anger or whatever...
do i have low frustration tolerance? something? i don't know... it is important to me to know how to see this...
i was thinking it was more about power. if i was my own lawyer... i would have dropped the asperger's thing. been clearer about how i had asked to see a doctor on numerous occasions and been turned away... frustration, yes... but not over being told a simple 'no'. anyway... i don't know... i guess i process it with my nurse next time i see her... only... she often says things to be agreeable rather than to be true... i don't know what to say...
i guess i just put this behind me... it just... seems one of those things... like with my jumping... something needed to change... i had done everything within my power to get appropriate help... i simply didn't know what else to do. i couldn't see any other option. what could i have done? anyone? i still don't see... if that makes me... incompetent... then so be it. if someone had have listened to my predicament... what could they have suggested as an alternative way?
