I want to agree with you, but in my case (complete lack of social skills, but I don't have a diagnose). I did tried and learned to "act normal", at least some strategies to act and comunicate as expected, and it's definitely useful. Still I want to agree with you as I remember how frustrating was to deal with family and society in general expecting me to act normal in a way that I didn't knew how.

BTW, my son actually has a mild ASD diagnosis, and well, I will try to help him not to feel bad about himself, but I also expect to help him get more social skills as I have seen first hand how useful they are.
