I'm not quite sure what your point is, or what your intentions are here, but if you are saying that it would be "cooler" to have a different developmental or affective disorder, then I would have to strongly disagree. AS is (imho) one of the most interesting conditions I've read about, many of it's traits can be seen as quite endearing or beneficial, something I don't think you could really say about BPD or OCD.
OK - yes, it is interesting because we are so inquisitive that we can't tolerate boredom and will seek out CONSTANT brain stimulation in puzzles, quizzes, mind games and theories. It's like we're walking brains - but there it ends because it's very isolating in case you haven't noticed. OCD and the others as debillitating as they are - and they ARE - at least have more social components to them. Rated - other pathologies are WAY more outgoing than this. Way, way, WAY more.
