Why am I always ignored?

because I have a mental health condition

People have fought for rights for mental health sufferers since before 1960. The only right we won from 1960-1980 was not to be confined to an institution. I lost everything I worked for in my early twenties because authority took a stable person's lies over my crazy truth. I am sick and tired of being ignored and shoved into the corner to be forgotten. I have never hurt anyone out of anger or on a mental break, I've only ever hurt myself. I have so much love for people, and I'm curious as to how things work. I ask a lot of questions and most people misinterpret what or why I am asking. My questions are always innocent and for gaining knowledge, NOT questioning the authority behind it. Most people take me as a very confusing individual and does not understand my way of communication. I am straight forward, blunt and honest and sometimes people cannot handle that. I had to teach myself how to communicate because I am severely dyslexic, I have ADHD and a comprehensive problem and my parents never realized that (they always thought I was on drugs). I would ask my mom for help and she could never help me with my homework except spelling. If mental health sufferers received their rights between 1960-1980 why have all my rights been stripped of me?
