This has got to be one of the most frustrating thing ever. Any time I see speculation about X person having Y issue I can feel an aneurysm lurking. It's much the same as the fascination with painting every major historical figure as homosexual.

My ex-girlfriend studied psychology.

She could'nt understand that dyslectic, autism etc. are not real illnesses, but rather some form of social constructs. Because they tend to outline behavior that diverges specific from a social norm, instead of being real diseases with a real biological cause.

Also:

>Facts
>Names 1 Casual explanation for every event
>History is factual and knowable rather than
a modern construct
>Hitler was evil
>Middle-ages are about knights and torture devices
>They thought the earth was flat during the middle-ages
>Slavery was a European invention that they brought to Africa
>The Europeans conquered the new world because they had superior technology

I can go on for hours.
