It wasn’t a victory against slavery. Quite the opposite. The 3/5 compromise was a victory for enslavers enabling them to count their “property” as people & benefiting them from the boost in population —& representation—in Congress in the process.They dominated nat’l politics for decades as a result.

Please just stop. The internet has meant more people previously ignored for diagnosis, due to lack of recognition for even basic traits, have been able to find a community and recognise those traits. That's a good thing. It isn't "over-diagnosis". It's catching up after decades of "under-diagnosis".
