Not just autism, IMHO.  Any  "difference" might be declared an "disorder" or
"syndrome" and be "fixed" somehow. F'rinstance, melancholy people could receive
antidepressants so they'll be all "happy" and "smiling" like everybody else. Bummer,
I say. There are differences and they often make the world an interesting place. Not
everyone is Extroverted Social Togetherness Party types.

Sorry for all the scare quotes.... they're sarcastic-voice indicators.
