24. Borderline borderline, I guess. I think I'm just a run of the mill nerd, not clinical. Obviously not a scientific test, but if those results are even just slightly indicitave of a clinical diagnosis, I can see how it can be misdiagnosed so easily. Used to be if a kid had any problems, they were ADD. It became so blatantly misdiagnosed that all the doctors stopped going there. They moved to Asperger's instead. Oh noes! Everyone's autistic! Don't mean to belittle anyone's struggles with ADD or Asperger's. If I suffered from either, I'd be pretty pissed at this point about mis/overdiagnoses. Since "normal" for anything is on a sliding scale, a line needs to be drawn in the sand somewhere. I just think the line needs to be moved from where it is now. It's just way too easy to be labeled these days.
