All people fall somewhere on the spectrum @cherokee. That's the way people should look at all mental illnesses; as a spectrum. There is no normal. Just varying degrees of certain characteristics. There are acceptable levels of behaviours but sometimes the level of behaviour is inappropriate and affects the individual or people around them. Sorry for the bookhaha I'm a psych nurse!
