'Accepted disgnosis' can become a self reinforcing error, that's all I'm
saying. Pidgeon holing is always a sort of shortcut -- an attempt to
'know' about something that is often as wrong as it is right.

I'm not angry, but you should be more flexible in your catagorizations
and assumptions. However, the accepted diagnosis of non-autistics is that
they tend to see knowledge as a set of boxes into which they try to
stuff things even if they do not fit. <GGG>
