Not if it risks the insult of a certain group, they cannot. Because there were surely real people with this condition who knew this portrayal was BS, and painted a skewed picture of how it works. Fiction should not be an excuse for that sort of crap, how would you like it if they justified the use of racial slurs just because "It's fiction"? That's such a weak excuse to be upholding.
