I don't think I'm borderline. A lot of the symptoms that Schizoid, Avoidant and Aspergers have in common seem to fit me, though. From the reading I've done in this area, I asked myself "What's the difference in real-world effects between not being born wired for social interaction as in Asperger's and losing the ability through atrophy as in severe Schizoid disorder." I really don't know. I do know that a lot of research lately is pointing to the adult brain being a hell of a lot more plastic than anyone had ever before suspected, and this gives me hope. If this pans out, the question becomes one of finding the right techniques and training the brain, or forcing it to make new connections while losing the old, defective ones.

I wish I had a more definitive answer for you. I'm NOT a Doc, but I have some hope for myself for good reasons and I going to proceed as if these changes are possible....what more can you do? Luck, and be good to you.
