Yes, I stumbled across this

and got it in my head that maybe I could sell some cheap short stories or something, maybe even attempt a whole book, just to add another possibility (however small) for making money. :s I don't know how to explain to her that I don't really like the thought of turning writing into work as she was implying I do, though. It's one thing to make something for yourself and happen to be able to sell it, quite another to be expected to produce things regularly to suit the tastes of buyers. Writing and art for me are just too temperamental for the latter to work out.

Problem with that is, what results do or don't turn out will pretty much depend on the individual doing the testing. I have had just as many professionals agree with my family (and unfortunately, those were the first ones and the ones for which my family was present) as those who didn't. Everything that's "wrong" with me could fit a variety of different categories, some of which are nothing unusual and some of which are potential "disability" fodder. And knowing how eager my family is to label me with something like that as opposed to doing any actual work to deal with the real issues themselves and find ways around them, they will latch onto absolutely anything (even if it's just someone agreeing that there are some features which are SHARED by so-and-so condition, without actually saying that it IS said condition because it could just as well be something else) and try to use it against me just as they always have.
