'QUIRKY KIDS' IN NEWSWEEK
By David Noonan
May 3, 2004 issue

- Like the conscientious pediatricians they are, Perri Klass and
Eileen Costello keep up with the ever-evolving vocabulary of childhood dysfunction. . . .They've seen hundreds of kids, counseled and comforted hundreds of worried parents. And Klass and
Costello know how scary it can be when those medical labels are applied to a young child for the first time.

"The terminology has real value," says Klass, "but it
is also terrifying." So the two Boston pediatricians chose a simpler term to lessen the terror for families.

Their solution: just say "quirky."

That's the word Klass and Costello settled on as another way to describe and think about the hundreds of thousands of kids who are "outside the common patterns," as they put it in their book, "Quirky Kids," which will be in paperback this summer. . .

I saved this in a forum at NHEN I titled "What's in a Name? Not Clarity!" and you might enjoy playing around with some other posts there too . . .

Words to live by

"As the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen [Muslims] ... it is declared ... that no pretext arising from religious opinion shall ever product an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries....

"The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation."


— -- Treaty of Tripoli (1797), carried unanimously by the Senate and signed into law by John Adams (the original language is by Joel Barlow, U.S. Consul)
