I haven't had time to go through this entire thread, but after reading many of the messages I wonder if anyone in the thread has actually been diagnosed with SID?
Having read a fair amount of medical literature on SID, it appears to be a rather serious disorder that significantly interferes with behavioral development when it can be accurately diagnosed. The thrust of the descriptions of this illness seems to be an internal inability to process certain documented stimuli, resulting in marked developmental limitations or behavioral oddities. Although irritation with behaviors of other people might mimic some aspects of SID, it appears that actual SID involves much more than this.
Many of the described irritations with other people's behaviors (foot wagging, gum chewing, finger tapping) could easily fall within dx of ADD, GAD, or the experience of the hypomanic phase of BPII.
