One thing that i seem to have noticed from my recent exposure to 'the rest of my family'...
Now that i've done some research into Asperger's and Schzoid Personality Disorder...
Is that i think EveryOne of my blood relatives has Asperger's or some closely related personality disorder...
But that for some, unknown factor, they are all comparatively functional, while i am not.
Classically; Symptom wise-- Many of these people are much more pathologically disturbed than i am...
So i'm thinking...
Maybe Asperger's itself isn't the disabling blight that it's occasionally made out to be...
( Asperger's is; already conceeded to be, pretty dang subtle in most cases )
...But is a sauce that highlights some other disaffection...
Like unrequited genius.

You're right. It isn't a debilitating blight. Check out the work of Dr. Michael Fitzgerald for some good examples of many of the contributions Asperger's autistics have made to our modern world.
