Not saying Asperger's or introversion are real problems, either!

They are descriptions of a person's tendencies; a diagnosis, not a prognosis. They can be either adaptive or maladaptive, depending on circumstances.

It doesn't matter to an individual how he got that way. (It may matter to observes, as a lesson to them.) What matters more is how to make the most of your life, given your current condition, how to use what you've got to get what you want.
