A: "I think you have an interesting neurological disorder." B: "My brain is my favourite organ, and I won't have you disparaging it! Where the hell do you get off?!" A: "Ummm. In the shower?" Together: "This conversation. At least one of us is doing it wrong." Would the above scenario (or rather, t...

Ah. Certainly I have found the diagnosis, unofficial as mine is, to be a helpful keyword for figuring out what's gone so pear-shaped in my social interactions. It's useful. I would probably find hinting at it with books and movies obtuse or irritating. I suggest you either say something along the l...
