Very aptly spoken. Just today (as the site was partially down) I went reading previous articles on site. (Go to the main page, and into the resource, then into Articles and Editorials? ) There was a good one about labels and stated just what you said: we are not the label (and thus labels are not so good) but HAVE the disorder etc...(label good for identifying therapy choices?)
I think the article was written in '96 maybe? Aw I'm not sure - I read several - but still good info.
Part of the good thing about a label (if accurate) it puts us ahead of all the rest of the world that doesn't know what THEIR problem is! heheheh
