Being an introvert is a very different thing from having Asperger Syndrome.<p>When it comes to the spectrum - right now there are now strong arguments for AS being a binary condition, and many - that it is a spectrum. Sure, many people can have it with value &quot;negligible&quot;.<p>Sure, engineers, mathematicians can be socially intelligent, outgoing etc. I linked to a paper showing experimental results than _on average_ STEM students have more autistic traits than other students (or the general population).<p>&gt; You are whatever you limit yourself to be.<p>A strong claim for psychology (~&quot;people with depression just don&#x27;t like to be happy&quot;).
