I use Ctrl and and the wheel on my mouse to increase and decrease the text all the time. It even increases the text here in the message box where I'm typing to post this reply.
I hope it's ok for me to comment on the following. It's just my thoughts, so figured it'd be ok considering these two forums are two of my home forums.

And, once again, I would ask for the mostly child-issue dominated forum of Autism/Asperger's be relocated to Mental Health......

I saw you'd asked that one other time, but I'm still not sure *why* you think that. I personally don't understand why it should be moved out of Neurology, but I've stopped posting on that forum here anyway. (I think I even removed my old messages) and ended up having to go elsewhere because it was just too slow and not enough posters and most messages were being duplicated from one forum to the other and it just became too confusing for me.

And I have since had several mention, publicly and privately, that they think Tourette's should be relocated there, also, as Tourette's tics and such first manifest in childhood... AND is treated by psychiatrists. Like all the rest of us guys.

'What is Tourette syndrome?
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics.'

Tourette Syndrome is usually diagnosed by Neurologists, as far as I know. Psychiatrists are sometimes consulted *if* medication is needed because they seem to have more knowledge about the types of medications that can be used. Also some people might have other comorbid conditions which warrant treatments such as medication or perhaps behaviour therapies for comorbid conditions.
Not everyone who has TS has comorbid conditions and not everyone who has TS is treated or needs to be treated or even seen by a psychiatrist. A lot of it has to do with knowledge. Sure, it's in the DSM. Is it the DSM that's being followed here? I could say an awful lot about the DSM, and I do mean awful, but might wait until the next issue is released LOL.
Tourette Syndrome is one of those conditions that sits on the fence purely because of comorbid conditions and in my opinion should still be included in Neurology. Actually, I think all the ones that are listed in Mental Health now should be left in Neurology because in my Laraopinion, they are *all* neurological conditions, but that's just how I see it and I know not everyone here sees it that way.
Do the people who have mentioned it to you publicly and privately have Tourette Syndrome? If so, they might like to put in a say about this here as well.
What's next? lol
Sleep Disorders and Movement Disorders?
