they called me a 'midget' - which IS derogotory word, but now the correct term is "Little Person"
A friend of mine borrowed the acronym "PORG" from an author and uses it cheerfully - it stands for "Person Of Restricted Growth".

I understand the dilemma - with ADD and clinical depression, they are chemical imbalances just like diabetes or Parkinson's. In the true context, they are 'mental illnesses' but that term is REALLY loaded.

Maybe one day, like Parkinson's, they may be seen as neurological. Detailed scans of ADD and depressive brains show they ARE different than those without the illness.
