"Psychiatrists still have no idea how to distinguish a person with mild Asperger's from a person who is simply introverted."

Classic rule of logical argument: Two things which are equal to one thing are equal to each other.

Or rather: If "Introversion" and High Functioning Autism (HFA) both essentially meet the DSM guidelines for diagnosis, what difference is there besides how pop psychology abuses the concept?



I think the way to treat them. There are tons of illnesses or syndromes out there that have similar symptoms. Take stomach pain for example, or flu-like symptoms.
