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.

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.

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.
