Why do they insist in calling it "a disorder"? do extroverts suggest we need to be cured or something? I want my Asperger’s pride parade. Aspies of the world, unite! ;)
Asperger's, from what I've read of the subject, is a cognitive issue; Aspies don't read social cues that neurotypicals (including introverted neurotypicals) pick up on without even thinking about it, and therefore have trouble socializing even when they want to.
It's like the difference between people who don't read a lot of books because they prefer to spend their free time watching TV, and people who don't read a lot of books because they're dyslexic.
Asperger's is no more of a strength than a borderline personality disorder.
