Asperger's is a disability. It is not an other-difference or a little-difference or differently abled. It is a disability. Pervasive. There are true deficits. It is a disorder often not even noticed by the person with the disorder but it can cause life to be hell for those around the person. Not always, that is true. It is not the only diagnosis like that. Psychopaths rarely view themselves as having problems. Same with people with other personality disorders. But lets not kid ourselves here. These are pervasive disorders that often ruin the lives of those around the person with the disorder. And yes, Aspies aren't the only ones that can ruin the family but It can be very hurtful for a NT children to have to interact with an Aspie adult because they often don't filter anything that comes out of their mouth, they tend to be incapable of going with the flow and allowing children to be the center of attention at dinner, they can't stand not talking incessantly about their latest obsession and they can o be clueless when others are simply turned off to their incessant talking. Those of us upset by the Aspie will probably spend days contemplating it while the Aspie gives it little to no thought. Aspergers syndrome is a truly horrible disorder-particularly for the NT that have to deal with them.
