I can see the whole "first day at school" type crying, where everything is fine after about a half hour. But for three days in a row?

This hypothetical child has severe issues, whereas Stephen's perfectly normal nephew is perfectly normal.

OK, but even, *even*, if the child seems abnormally sensitive, it doesn't suggest a likely Asperger's diagnosis. - TFox Jan 18, 12:27 5
- Considering how over-diagnosed ADHD and Aspergers are ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:29
- Diagnosis? Come on, it was an anecdote. -- nm - con_carne Jan 18, 12:29 2
  - It's an anecdote that suggests to a parent or relative that you suspect their child might have some sort of chronic disease. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:31
  - True. We all laughed. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:31
- yup. -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:29

  - this conversation is insane, we are discussing a non-existent child's hypothetical issues that don't even match (at all) the real child's issues. - Andie Jan 18, 12:30 4
    - oh come on - pointless arguements are the meat of ST -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:33 1
      - there is *USUALLY* some basis for it. people are arguing over the RIGHT diagnosis on a non-existant ailment. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:34
    - I think Beaker's taken the topicality of it by the nards and started to run with it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:31 1
      - hee -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:33
- hypothetical child is hypothetical. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:27 1
  - they should go to the ER for that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:28
