It is best to remain "undiagnosed" otherwise all sorts of doors will slam shut and the sorts of prejudices such as the ones we see with CASA will became a lifelong problem. I see it in young students and say to their parents please think very, very carefully before getting the label stuck on your child and it ruining so many opportunities... Just let them be themselves, however uncomfortable that might be for others.

t is just the sort of thing that people scratching around for KPIs will latch onto, which is what I suspect happened at CASA with the Form 420 nonsense.

As I've said previously, CASA would have grounded Neil Armstrong as having a "disorder".
