Or, in short, somebody who doesn't have Asperger's.

Or Schizophrenia. Or ADHD. Or any one of a massive host of things that can affect the brain and make it harder to cope.

I thought this was a discussion about Asperger's, not every single mental disorder under the sun.

Not many people are neat the centre of the bell curve for ALL attributes (statistically, since attributes are aplenty) and those who are become a small and interesting subset on their own.

It strikes me - anecdotally - that often those who are most well-adjusted have the most support [friendship groups, family] already and those that are least well-adjusted lack these things.

I'm sure there's a feedback loop (or two) and that causality is bi-directional.
