Larry
I agree with nearly everything you said. None of us have the 'real-answers',
it all hypothesises, but the 'reality' is that the are dominant ideologies
and discourses, in which allows treatments and therapies to be used on
neurodiverse individuals, so like 'pick and mix' in the sweet shop, then
which one do we all choose that is not going to cause us harm?
Who do we trust? The medical model of psychiatry/psychology or alternative
and complimentary methods?

Colin
