Except it is not said condition. Because the condition was a misdiagnosis.
"Hysteria" was once a diagnosis for overly-emotional women. It was a misdiagnosis too. And now calling people hysterical is often viewed by those people as offensive. Even if they are being overly-emotional.
You'll need to elaborate a little, I get how hysteria is made up bullshit, but some people are developmentally delayed, and what's another word for delayed?

I'm still not getting it. Are you saying intellectual disabilities, formerly known as mental retardation, were previously frequently misdiagnosed? I can't imagine that's what you're suggesting because I don't see how that makes sense here. I'm confused. Halp.
Give up, he's just not getting any of it.
The diagnosis today of "mental retardation" is a misdiagnosis because it is no longer an accepted medical term.
Yes. But at the time it was on the euphemism treadmill, it was. And that's the point being made.
Yes, and 'hysteria' was once a diagnosis too. That was not the point that was made. The point was that it is somehow still a valid one today, just not a valid term. It is not a valid diagnosis. It's not just about word choice.
