I'm sure I know plenty of people who suffer from it but we just call it being selfish and thoughtless! I think calling it a disorder is giving an excuse for people who behave badly to say it's because they have a 'medical' condition!
But hey - I'll give kudos to anyone who tries to get away with being horrible due to their "EDD". I might even try it myself!
So I'm sure the professionals who coined this term mean well but I don't buy it. All it does is lend an 'reason' for contemptible behavior.
