I think we may be too focused on quickly labeling things that some parents may in fact be affecting their children's development in negative ways. In the same way that telling a child "you're A so you cannot do B things" can potentially mess them up, the idea that "you're not A but actually C" could also similarly be instilled into them even if they're not C. While there are certainly processes like doctors and therapists that can factor into making sure the child is mentally healthy, it's not guaranteed all parents will go down that route. To be clear, I don't think this is likely to be any kind of widespread phenomenon, but it is something to think about.
