-> I have huge question to ask all of you kind thoughtful intelligent
-> people...

-> Dr. Donahue (an Orlando FL doctor/columnist) answered a question wrt a
-> "Disorder" called Aspager's Disorder...... "DISORDER"??? OR
-> DIFFERENCE?

-> The patient avoids eye contact, has trouble making friends, has
-> difficulty with fine motor skills, is not interested in sports... has
-> select interests....  but can lead a productive and happy life.

-> I get the IMPRESSION the 'disorder' is called a disorder based on
-> social skills. That if you're not a party animal, or you don't like
-> sports you're uh suffering a DISORDER rather than simply being
-> different from the status quo?

-> Once upon a time being left handed was considered a 'disorder'... and
-> being 'gay' likewise.

I'm left handed and dyslexic.
Dyslexia is tied to poor development of socail skills and I can't
debate that.

-> What do you think? Is medical science defining conditions based on
-> status quo?

-> I always thought conditions were 'disorders' if they interfere with
-> being able to function in a way that lends to self support...''

-> Give me your thoughts. Thank you.

I think genetics plays a larger role than credited with and 
that our evolution as a species lags far behind our social 
development.
