Yes I suppose if you misquote an article to make a point, then it seems obvious.

But the example and quote you provided are not in the article you linked to. I can't answer what people read into an article, but that's not the takeaway I had after reading the article in question. If it had explicitly said what you claimed it said, I too would be upset by it. But an author suggesting people be aware of some of the possible patterns of behavior in some people with CEN seems completely reasonable to me. It would not be that different from saying, before you get into a relationship with someone with depression, be aware that there may be some dark days you need to live through with that person.
