So since this wasn't an 'official' thread is it a 'make-believe' thread just for those who need to identify with labels for some reason and not intended for regular people?


I don't think you realize how many people are comfortable with labels. So many people that being comfortable with labels is regular. If you don't think "regular", meaning average people are comfortable with labels, then you must be delusional. Not everyone is like you. I assume that is why you joined this forum. If the amount of replies in one day is any indicator, it would appear many are comfortable with labels.

They haven't been diagnosed, but have been mentioned many times on this forum and exhibit signs. I never claimed either of them had it. The picture was simply there for a reference.

I guess you're right after all. People do seem to need labels and celebrity Aspie role models and various catagories and undiagnosed conditions and the whole nine yards of psychobabble in order to belong some how or another.

That makes you a logically analytical person who does improper capitalization.

i am improperly Logical. i don't make any concessions to silly Man Made rules of Capitalization. i only bow to Pure Mathematical Logic.

There is also a danger with this labels: Any label, especially with a nice scientific name or even with DVM-No., is to easily to hand, not change for your self what is really to change, or to load the task to any health professional.
