Verbatim
“It's a tipping point situation. It tips them into the activation of whatever genetic predisposition it is that they have.”
“There are a lot of adults who are not getting the attention they need. People don't want to believe this is a psychiatric disorder but it is—and long-term it can lead to nutritional deficiencies, impact relationships, and potentially be socially disruptive.”
