And as you say, she is "in assessment" for what is clearly abnormal behavior. You believe that 30 years ago, such a thing would have simply been accepted as normal? That 30 years ago, she would have fit in just fine, and no one would have suspected she had a problem?

Yes, and your children scream for three hours because they don't want it to get dark, too.

Martha R. Herbert, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School. She's listed on the back; I don't know who else might support it. But you have to understand, there is no new research here. It is itself a peer review of existing studies.
