I know that the term applies to a huge range of disorders, some of which are only mildly hampering, others of which have a greater effect on life. it's like Tourettes, which for the most part is NOT about shouting random obscenities. Most Tourettes sufferers ust have a tic or an audible sound. However, generally speaking you'll be discussing the most extreme aspect.
Back on the topic of Foster's, you will never see an IF with a mild disorder. Their personalities are very, very centered on whatever their original concept is - Mr. Herriman follows the rules, so he FOLLOWS THE RULES, even if the rules are detrimental. If they contradict, he just might explode. This also explains why Bloo is never going to "learn his lesson," no matter how many times he tries. He can't!
By the way, I think the turning point for him in the movie was biting the giant monster's tail, not just when he decided to trust Frankie.
