Are you looking at AS more along the way that alternate sexual orientation is approached as opposed to alcoholism for instance?

The first one is manageable and can function in a healthy way within society, thus can't be termed dis-ease (although mostly it's not strictly a choice) - and the other one is detrimental to society and one's functioning within society, and can be termed a dis-ease (although a drunk may seem happy until he hurts someone through his behavior).

Am I getting close to the mark? :)


Yes, I think that in a general way, that comparison can illustrate what I mean. I often tend to think of it as something as concrete as I can get, since there is so much conflicting stuff out there about sexuality and alchoholism that it all gets very murky for me. I think of things like ambidexterity, for instance. It's rare, but it's a different way the brain works and it's not a disease. Or having one blue eye and one that's light brown (I recently ran into such a man at a bus stop). Again it's very rare, but it's not a disease.
