Oh, and as an addition - I am of the belief that this current 'pandemic' of depression and learning difficulties and what not is not an actual pandemic - not a new thing.

The west is currentyl obsessed with over-complicated diagnosis, whereas in the past 'odd' behaviour was just written off (in children at least) as misbehaving/childishness/simple idiocy/whatever.

Children who are now chalked up as having 'autism' would have once-upon-a-time just been thought of as a bit slow.

Now, I'm not saying the way it is now is worse than then - just different. But it does lead to stupid arguments like this.

What does the Telegraph and its cronies honestly want us to do? Regress ourselves to the point of ludditism?
