It is important to remember that Asperger's syndrome does not retard one's intellectual development. If only society is a little patient and tolerant with their inability to understand social norms, they can fend for themselves as engineers, mathematicians, video game designers or photographers.
Unlike some other psychological problems, social phobia is not well understood by the general public or by medical and mental health care professionals, such as doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, social workers, and counselors. In fact, people with social phobia are misdiagnosed almost 90% of the time. People coming to our anxiety clinic with diagnosable DSM-IV social phobia have been mislabeled schizophrenic, manic-depressive, clinically depressed, panic disordered, and personality disordered, among other misdiagnoses.
