      They name the conditions by how they affect normal people, not how the conditions affect us.

      Admittedly, I literally told off a priest and a cop at completely different times in the same day, when I was 5…

        Nobody bothers observing what the difference between insanity and madness is.

        Insane: an observation you make about another, subjective, they clearly have a self-consistent reasoning process with a metric that you don’t share. But communication and cooperation is still possible. Aka Neurodivergent

        Mad: illogical, goes against established and observable evidence, may harm self or others, aka nut case
