askye, I agree with you 100%. And your mom is awesome.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We wouldn't need all these fancy-schmancy diagnoses if they just brought back laudanum.

Right? You know what my favorite opiate of the masses is? Opium!

Trufax, my brother and I had a conversation today about what junkies we would be if only we could get ahold of morphine on a regular basis. (Hey, at least we recognize our addictive tendencies and steer clear of the dealers, you know?)

You can have all my morphine if I can have your codeine.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I shouldn't have to point it out, but I'm not saying a kid can't have issues. I'm just remembering myself as a kid and all my kid friends, and how many diagnoses would have been given to us when we thought we were just kids.

Oh, I appreciate all the opiates I've had for various legitimate medical diagnoses (codeine for pleurisy, percocet for the back, morphine for the back) -- they all make me floaty to various degrees. I like 'em all.
(NOT A JUNKIE. I SWEARS.)

A lot of times, a diagnosis is a short cut some parents make. In this particular case, it's very real.
Although some of it might be mitigated if the parents used any sort of discipline at home. From an outsider's perspective, that is.

Thrive to spite them
To change the subject I found more reasons to love Vermont.
A bill that got passed quietly and hasn't received that much attention (I only read about it in the free weekly) - Vermont born trans gender people can now get a "clean" birth certificate with the new name and gender. The old birth certificates will be sealed. And the law has been changed so that medical professionals are given the authority to say when a people are at the point in their transition where a new birth certificate is needed. Under the old way a probate judge had to decided and the letters from doctors had to follow a very specific script and letters could get rejected for minor deviations from the script.
This bill ended up getting tacked on to the one that says health insurance companies have to cover midwives.
A bill was also passed saying all single stall restrooms in government offices must be gender neutral.
