[MD] There is a name for what's wrong with you!

[Ian Glendinning]

Absolutely,

I've used the adjective autistic to refer to those who expect
"rational" (as in GOF rational, scientistic) argument to lead to
clearer answers, many times before ...

I always get criticized when I do, by those defending socially
challenged children, who miss the point.

Interesting piece.
