Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place or this has been said already, I've looked around but I couldn't seem to find anything.

Basically I am suggesting that a general psychology forum be added. I'm not sure quite what to call it, but something like a mental/physical difference or anomaly sub forum. EX, Empaths, Synesthesia, color blindness, or other psychological, physical, interpersonal differences that aren't exactly disorders, but can be discussed on a psychology ...
