This has nothing to do with the thread topic, but just a comment on what you wrote about your wife's suffering when she was growing up. In my experience, girls can be meaner than boys.

I agree. Some girls can definitely be bullies but speaking as somebody with ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome and OCD I found most of the bullying (physical and emotional) towards people with disabilities was done by males and most of my female friends were far more accepting of me having disabilities when I told them compared to some of my male friends that didn't want anything to do with me even after we had been friends for over a decade.
