Should you discriminate against them as it happens to so many 'abnormal' people.

>Just because it's not there yet doesn't mean its invalid.Now, I get your point on that one. Is it invalid? Most likely yes, similarly to the early theories of physics. Should we stop psychological research? Definitely not. However, that wasn't my point.
