Asperger's is not only about an inability to socialize. It also includes sensitivities and detail thinking (their filters let more through) which can cause chronic stress, anxiety and depression. They often have one or a few interests they dig deep into, or they have a generally deeper understanding of several things while "normals" just scratch the surface. They also often have a lower muscle tone, and can have dyspraxia, mild or more severe. Some have terrible executive functioning skills. Some cannot automatize actions much at all. There are loads more than the social piece.

Every aspie is different. Some have an extreme aversion to touch or the smallest sounds, some manage it better, some have extreme and narrow special interests, some don't, some do not know how to socialize, some socialize quite well (at least on the outside). I'm seen as a pretty mild case because I have friends and I can socialize. In a way it sort of doesn't do me justice. I have a terrible time with routine, I have to do something many many many more times to get something resembling an autopilot. I have a poor sense of time and I have very poor executive functioning skills.

I know the popular view is to see Asperger's as a social disorder and our diagnostic manual might even rename it Social reciprocity disorder!!!

It's not all it is.
