I had a neurologist put me through a test excactly a year ago and he
concluded I had "Executive syndrome"......... i think trying to
measure brain energy with reciting poems or doing puzzles has not been
mastered yet. I thought the neurologist a deluded sociopath and a
cheap con artist (I was actually taking the test upon my repeated
request to my shrink to get scientific proof i wasn't allright in lack
of any analasys from any doctors, to get out of Maximum security
section 1B at the hospital where I spent 6 years!). I swore i passed
the hours long test like 99% perfect and higher than average abilities
but i had "Executive syndrome" (yet to be identified), part of "the
giant bag or umbrella in or under which we group all the different
types of varying grades of Schitzophrenia, our common word for all
most common mental disorders". The grey area is staggering. Shrinks
are not scientists they are con artists. Proof that Arseberger's
Syndrome doesent exist in other worlds than a shrinks skull.
Time to open the human cranium and pump up the LSD supply!
