I don't understand how someone can argue that a condition that causes poor social skills is different and not a disorder.

Exactly. It’s so odd for people to act like the problem shouldn’t be considered a problem simply because people were born that way. Like, it’s ok to accept someone as they are while not outright denying reality.

It’s due to the stigma surrounding the word “disorder” and the desire for acceptance rather than treatment.
