The wine sounds like a good idea - I'm partial to a really dry red wine from Western New York State or the Finger Lakes Region.
When I was diagnosed, I went in order to be evaluated for possible Asperger's. The psychologist decided it was schizoid personality disorder (though he downplayed the disorder part).
From what I understand, it isn't even going to be listed in the DSM-V as a personality disorder.
For me, it's just an explanation for why I perfer my own company, don't have a particularly wide range of emotions, and tolerate being around others only in short spurts (though I can easily stand up and teach a class or give a lecture; but those don't involve any particular degree of socialization). It really doesn't change anything and I see no reason for me to do anything about it.
