If some one told me anxiety and panic disorder is not real I would punch them in the face I must have imagined that I didn't have the strength to get out of bed :roll:

Thomas Stephen Szasz (/ˈsɑːs/ sahss; April 15, 1920 – September 8, 2012)[2] was a psychiatrist and academic. Since 1990[3] he had been professor emeritus of psychiatry at the State University of New York Upstate Medical University in Syracuse. He was a well-known social critic of the moral and scientific foundations of psychiatry, and of the social control aims of medicine in modern society, as well as of scientism. His books The Myth of Mental Illness (1960) and The Manufacture of Madness (1970) set out some of the arguments with which he is most associated.

[...]

"Mental illness" is an expression, a metaphor that describes an offending, disturbing, shocking, or vexing conduct, action, or pattern of behavior, such as schizophrenia, as an "illness" or "disease". Szasz wrote: "If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. If the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist; If you talk to the dead, you are a schizophrenic."[14] While people behave and think in ways that are very disturbing, and that may resemble a disease process (pain, deterioration, response to various interventions), this does not mean they actually have a disease. To Szasz, disease can only mean something people "have," while behavior is what people "do".

[...]

Psychiatry, supported by the State through various Mental Health Acts, has become a modern secular state religion according to Szasz. It is a vastly elaborate social control system, using both brute force and subtle indoctrination, which disguises itself under the claims of scientificity.

Also Tony Attwood amd Simon Baron-Cohen are selling books, so what?

Can't someone be a medical professor when she or he has a different opinion?

Aussiebloke, it's not all black and white you know...

Psychiatric dx addresses problems and not the root...!
I wanted to show a different opinion and calling someone a "troll" because of that is the same stigmaticastion Szasz tryes to show psychiatrists sometimes use.

His being controversial to sell books just like the minority of scientists who says global warming isn't real, the arrogance of man to think man has no impact on the environment.

His quite a comedian perhaps he should do stand up ?

And I trust Tony he once said "autism is anxiety looking for a target" I just think it's hurtful my weirdo family have these strange views.

Is this your way to stigmatize someone who has a different opinion than you?
You still didn't answer my question:
