Absolutely. I once worked with a guy who took both of his sons to doctor after doctor until he found one that would label both sons ‘Aspergers’ so he could get money for special schooling. All I could think of was ‘those poor kids’.
Yes, I’ve heard of that; are the symptoms as unverifiable as “autism spectrum”?

And, from your telling (by implication), there was absolutely nothing wrong with his kids, right?
I’m betting he’d differ with you on that, but maybe not. Maybe he was just a scum-sucking dirtbag who put his kids through that for the money, labeling them in the bargain.
