Except it's not her that needs to learn coping mechanisms, it's the world.
Unfortunately, for where she wants to get career wise, she has to jump through the the hoops that are a university education and hours in exams. Once she gets through that, the work she would be doing should be stimulating enough for her to just be herself again. In the mean time it's coping mechanisms to get her through and she's even considering Ritalin (I'm hoping she doesn't and she knows my thoughts on it, but she'll do things her own way).
I yearn for the day when all personality types are accepted as normal, but the current equality drive could actually undermine that, because they can't be seen to be treating people differently (although really it's treating them according to their needs). This is probably why they justify it with diagnoses within schools. They can't allow one kid who focuses better when doing headstands and roly polies (my youngest, funnily enough) to do so, when the rest can't focus while doing that, but will feel unfairly treated if they aren't allowed to also do it. So I do see why schools have to go the diagnosis route, although even then I'm sure other kids will see it as unfair and want to know why they can't be "special".
