Now, why do we do that, refer to people as numbers and ignore the truth. You know that there are only so many social rolls or positions one can play much like the number of jobs to people. See I think the sooner we start recognizing it and stop lying to ourselves and society the better we can address the issue.
Rendering our population impotent doesn't make a whole lot of sense when it means robing it of greatness.
We live in a society today that tries to repress these 1 of 10's rather than educate them to the fact,showing the extra guidance and attention they require. Ignoring the problem doesn't work which is very apparent in our prison systems and inability to innovate in times of economic unrest. These individuals serve a very important purpose dare I say the most important and should be utilized rather than passed over out of fear.
I'm not saying its right or wrong simple that it is what it is and if the quasi automatic system we've designed to be a sort of great equalizer starts to take a bias against these select few well than we're just setting ourselves up for failure which is no more apparent than right now.
I mean ultimately what do these psycho graphic characterizations crave? They crave relevance and the ability to make a difference IF and that's a big IF they are pointed in the right direction and the current means is doing a horrible disservice both to these individuals and the rest of society because they are capable of so much good and its only through neglect that we see these incidences like Jared Roughner or addiction and so on and so forth.
