Different people have different personalities. No one needs a "cure" for a unique personality. What they need is understanding and acceptance.
Yup. Exactly.
This may be true for some, but I bet people who have loved ones with significant needs don't think this is very cute.
Exactly, also.
It's the same with any spectrum disorder - like Bipolar Affective Disorder - I've heard it said to people living with it that they are among some of the greatest creative minds like Van Gough, Beethovan, and many current artists and actors. That's not comforting - these are difficult disorders and the people who have them suffer tremendously.
We don't all have to become experts about every disorder or even try to be on the look for a brain disease. If we just all simply took a breath, stepped back and didn't judge an unusual action, and responded patiently and kindly things would be a lot easier for everyone involved.
Great post as usual @hanshotfirst.

Perfectly said!
That should be the starting point for all interactions.
Yes....it "should". :)
