it's a tough call as to whether it can be considered a disease or not...
but let's use a parallel of children who are born with ten fingers on each hand but no thumbs.
they can play the piano a hell of a lot better than we can, but have difficulties grasping without opposable thumbs.
whether or not they're healthy or able to live somewhat normal lives is irrelevant - should we be mocking them? i've been informed that beauty and the geek is not particularly kind or flattering in the way they present these kids, and being on the spectrum is pretty much the criteria.
