I am very happy for you and your son.  What a relief!  It seems like so many people have traits of personality disorders.  I really think labels are destructive even if someone truly does have one.  We are all individuals with bits and pieces of positive and negative traits and learned coping mechanisms.  And those with diagnosed personality disorders might end up unconsciously living up to the stereotype and in turn sabotagie themselves.  I do see how it might be useful in distinguishing what type of therapy is needed or works best though. Psychiatry/psychology is fascinating but also such a fluctuating and meandering science.  Anyway, so good to hear about your son's progress.  Hoping for continued success for him!
