Is anyone familiar with a medical condition called ACP?
Apparently, it's some sort of neurological disease called Acronym Formation Disorder. Anyone know anything about it?

Here's what I get from it ..
From what I understand ... The DSM / Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders uses the term HAFD for Hyperactive Acronym Formation Disorder, according to this Author who has written a book on the sexual disorders of men and women...It's supposed to be another term for the condition known as Peyronie's Disease ( The deformation or crookedness of a mans genitals ).. The Author is a woman apparently and the title of the book is The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex.
I'm assuming, by `acronym`, they mean ` initialism ' ....And In the context as a whole, I assume the term means the initial form of a mans' genitalia, which has been deformed due to a condition that causes it to become recognized as a ` Formation Disorder `....So now, Acronym aka ` initialism ` Formation Disorder...I'm guessing this is how this lady must've pieced it together.... But here is the link to the part of her book where she talks only very little in details about it .. She calls it HAFD..
You may have to scroll down a little once you've clicked on this link and read the small print on the page beneath the larger print.. That's the only part where she mentions anything or elaborates any on it..
