What’s The Difference Between Asperger Syndrome And Schizoid Personality Disorder?

13th May, 2009 - Posted by admin -

Those with AS often WANT to be socially accepted, but don’t know how. They have to be specifically TAUGHT social cues and norms that most of us just “pick up” in early childhood. Additionally, there is usually a compulsion toward a single subject or topic. It’s a mild form of Autism.
Those with Schizoid Personality Disorder clearly know the social norms and cues, but simply do not wish to be involved with others. It’s a rare condition, and most do not seek treatment, but rather live as a hermit.
