The reason it is thought of as a disorder is it is disabling in a neurotypically driven world. For example part of social interactions often involves lying. If you can't help but be too honest then obviously you're going to find it to be a disability that you can't lie well. But in this case it shouldn't be because people should really work on being more honest.

Yeah that makes sense I just had someone with aspergers say that autism/aspergers say its not acutually a disorder. People I know will say its a higher way of thinking but I know its on this spectrum. I always thought that theres strengths and weaknesses to it. Throughout my life I questioned my knowledge about it. I feel like I need to know more about it.
