Sure, although those are still different things, and people won't receive a diagnosis just because they're more sensitive to matters of justice.

I completely agree with you that the stigma around psychological disorders ("disorder bad") isn't justified. Especially people with conditions like autism or ADHD often just experience the world differently and in ways that would sometimes be beneficial if everyone saw it that way.

The term "disorder" does a poor job at conveying that these conditions often result from peoples' inability to function in "normal" society, which is not caused by them being "bad" but rather by society making it difficult for them to function as well as they could.
