Hmm. I'm not sure I agree with that. A mental disorder is not a disorder unless it causes you obvious distress. It might only be obvious to the person suffering it, but not all people walk around with that kind of monkey on their backs. Believe me, it is not just a matter of who deals with it or hides it better. Some people have it and some people do not.
Technically, everyones on the autistic spectrum. It doesn't cause alot of people obvious distress but it doesn't change the fact their condition could be defined and classified if they were observed enough. The classification still counts as a disorder.
Keep in mind my point refers to disorders on every spectrum, not just those on the autistic spectrum. There is no-one on this planet to some degree who doesn't have some kind of disorder, mild or otherwise, and as a result consciously or subconsciously compensates for whatever it effects.

I think this is pretty naive, you magnificent bastard. Everyone gets sick but not everyone has a chronic condition.
Never suggested everyone has a chronic condition, just a condition to anything from the most serious extent to the mildest that would scarcely register on the scale.
