Corollary:

All cats are autistic.

Or they think their name is (sound of a can opener).

Cheers!

It must depend on the name. With some of the names they are giving nowadays it’s no wonder the child doesn’t want to respond: who would?

[caveat emptor]

Ah yes, the simple test.

Twenty five years ago I was being destroyed by sleep apnea. My family doctor told me I didn't look like I had sleep apnea - not fat. And not long ago my wife's friend's husband, who has severe sleep apnea, was told by the local yokel (MD) that all he had to do was lose a bit of weight.

Sheesh. Reminds me of A Simple Plan.
