This article grabbed me because autistic persons have much the same problem. I know many people who have “autistic” traits, but they are walking around, living their regular lives and don’t need pharmaceuticals. I am also not a fan of labeling because it gets in the way of treatment. I generally refer to my daughters condition as autism. She is specifically diagnosed with Asperger’s. I have found though, that doctors/teachers tend to minimize the autistic aspects of her illness, and focus on her social problems, since “social problems” is the approved definition of Asperger’s. I have to remind them that she is sick, that she has sensory problems. For more on my take on this see here.
