When I read it it felt like an ironic statement about how people with mental 'disorders' are diagnosed and treated. Looking at it in that light made it kind of funny (as well as making a serious point).

Checking the other papers the author was part of, there is "Drop the language of disorder(2012)" - https://mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/16/1/2

Thanks for the post, it was interesting and made me chuckle. It reminded me of https://thedailytism.com - kind of "The Onion" but for autism/adhd.

Cheers!
