What a ridiculous form. It honestly looks like a cut and paste job for primary school age children.

As for the medicalisation of behavioural differences? Oh gees. For sure, I'd never rule out appropriate medical interventions for acute or severe cases of depression etc but only if used in conjunction with CBT (not CBD!) and prescribed appropriate exercise once stable.

I have flown with someone who is probably on the Autistic spectrum. (I say probably as I am not a clinical psychologist but I do hold a Psychology degree). He's very intelligent but gees it was hard work for the week. Once I figured out how to manage him, it became easier but it was still very tiring for me. Fortunately, the effort paid off and we could function well as a team during an abnormal departure (gear failed to retract).
