    Any diagnosis means someone might demand something of them. It might be consideration, tax money, or some other inconvenience like actually having to apply thought and accommodation to anyone not fitting their idea of conformity. I agree with where you’re pointed, but it isn’t a “moral panic”, it’s their unwillingness to expend anything of themselves for others.
