Thanks for not immediately jumping on my back about it and down voting. I'm certainly not saying that there's no scientific validity to mental disorders, that's absurd and definitely not the take I have and I feel like taking that impression from my original comment is almost willingly misunderstanding what I was trying to say.

What are you saying if not that ADA recognized disabilities are no more significant to a person than a possibly made-up personality type?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I think what they're getting at is that just because the ADA or whoever recognizes that the disorders exist doesn't mean that everyone who believes they have it has it.
