Recently met a kid who dropped out due to crippling social anxiety and has been working out her own autodidact path since. I think there are genuine corner cases buried among the faddish ones. Kinda like fashionably gluten-free people vs actual Celiac’s sufferers.

Huh. All I know is I've never had a problem. And I'm a legit celiac (diagnosed at 1yo by intestinal biopsy after I nearly died from my first solid foods). Celiac is not an "anaphylactic shock" type reaction (at least, not for me). So pure upside from my perspective!
