I'm not challenging the disorder itself. I'm challenging a culture that's happy to jump to clinical diagnoses. There are a wide variety of traits people may possess that can easily fall into a variety of clinical diagnoses but are completely normal. Your original comment was very well balanced, but the 9 in 10 undiagnosed statistic struck me as a wild statistic that had no basis.
I understand the confusion between symptoms and moral character, but I'd prefer a more conservative stance on diagnoses when it comes to a condition with boundaries that aren't black and white.
