There are all kinds of names for so-called personality disorders in the psychological world. Manic-depressive, attention-deficit, mild high-functioning autistic (that’s mine!), etc., etc. All of these are deviations from some arbitrary norm.

Don’t quite recall where you send them but I think it was the Oxdford Cambridge that was doing it. I believe that’s the English one so be sure to add alot of extra U’s to the word
