To label it as a disability is a disservice to people who never had the benefit of special help to get through it "back in the day." My 32-year-old son must have literally been in a living hell, never having been diagnosed or given any attention other than criticism until he was 25! He made it through college by the skin of his teeth, but life since then has been frustrating to the max for him and us! If only he'd had help sooner!
