I don't think that's what they intended. Of course there's nothing wrong with it. Personally, I just see it as something extra a person has to carry with them, no offense.

But I just did some research there and I think I know why they gave it a different name: in general, a 'disorder' is something you are born with, such as bipolar disorder for example, whereas a 'syndrome' is something that develops itself at a later stage. I know trust me. I have Aspergers syndrome but I wasn't born with it. Something happened with me as a child and as a result I developed my Aspergers by the time I was ten.

That's my opinion anyway. Also, the words disorder, syndrome and disease are often all linked so I guess they mean the same thing in the grander scheme of things.

BTW, that's a brave thing to admit to a stranger. I just want to say I admire that honesty
