[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 653448, member: 11791"] Interesting. I do tend to "diagnose"... and I tend NOT to "label". SO... I figured out years ago that one of my friends has an Aspie hubby. THEY just figured it out this year. I never said a thing. But with that suspicion in my mind, it changed how I interacted with this person - for the better. To figure out for [I]yourself[/I] that someone in your life is "fill in the blank diagnosis", may be positive. To go broadcasting that to the whole world, is not. If I have suspicions in my own mind, and others want to know what I think of so-and-so, I tend to say that the person "has issues". Whatever they are, be aware, or you'll trip on them too. But... whatever they are, is not mine to [B]publicly diagnose[/B]. [/QUOTE]
