I suppose not a bad place to look if one is American and wants to 'label' people. However, as you probably know, although less than a month since it was published, DSM-5 is attracting a lot of controversy and criticism, both within the US and more widely.
Indeed. The WHO's International Classification of Diseases (the current version being ICD-10) is the (almost!) globally accepted classification system. However, the USA has invented its own variant/extension of ICD-10, which contains something like 4 times more diseases/codes than does the international version!

It can be more helpful and instructive to find out the reasons behind the person's conduct.
Indeed - which is another way of stating the obvious, that behaviour, even if unusual, questionable or even extreme, is not necessarily anything to do with mental health diseases or disorders - and, as you say, may sometimes be quite appropriate to the situation. Of course, even if the sentiment is appropriate, the execution (e.g. language used) might not be - and that could be more the situation we are talking about here.
sorry stupid idea putting lights in gardens who in their right mind does that. That bit you've misunderstood. The 'sheds' he wants banned are DIY stores such as B&Q, Homebase, probably Wickes etc. - not the sort one has in one's garden! His heart is usually in the right place, and his knowledge is extensive, but (IMO) his style/language often lets him down, and he also sometimes seems to think that everyone else should share his own likes/dislikes/opinions etc.
I think it is the large shed like shops that sell anything DIY to anyone and often give wrong, even dangerous information to the customers. All the sheds are interested in is selling as much as possible no matter how little the customer knows.
People put lights in their gardens, and on the outside of their buildings, for all sorts of reasons.First he questions why put down lights outside a building and when I say why not. You get a heckle. Eh!
Yes, I read the title. You said you wanted solar powered lights - at first I didn't realise that you don't even know why you want lights, and you had not said that you needed solar powered ones because you've built a carpeted and insulated room to use in a social setting, as a leisure space, but have no electricity running to it.Next he comes on going on about how stupid this is to have a social garden room without electricity. Eh! Did he even read the title
I'm certainly not kidding. If you want details, you'll have to ask him!
