I also think it's a reach too far.
Statistical analysis of the behavior of things -- for instance, gas molecules -- has brought some great advances in science... but correlation is not, in itself, proof. I question its applicability to minds.
I'm inclined to put it in the same category as so-called Attention Deficit Disorder. For whatever reason (I suspect population pressure), we become increasingly intolerant of deviation from an expected norm. Unwilling -- or lacking the capacity -- to either accept a wider range of behavior as contributing to the norm, or to admit that individual human consciousness cannot be controlled as we demand, we grasp for a biomedical cause that leaves us blameless for our perceived failure. We call it a 'disorder' and we medicate the 'symptoms'.
... and the last thing we need is another category to add to Lee's breeding program.
