"[..] being a recessive inherited disorder"

Is it fair to call it a disorder? It seems like people that have it are fully functional. To me, it looks more like a difference in brain processing styles.

I can't avoid to think what other differences are we missing, just because we all assume that the other people process the world like us.

I've kind of taken to calling it a 'disorder' when talking to others, as that quickly carries the "I can't do this thing that you can" message. I can see how 'disorder' might be insensitive or offensive to others, but I really didn't care about the semantics in my case. Wikipedia calls it a 'condition' which seems like a better term.
