As indicated in a title I have wondered whether aspergerians perception of the world does not give up to normal interaction. Like the aspegerian view of the world needs constant redefining in order to accepts its place in communal existence and finally letting their own consciousness to be merged into test of the humanity more or less as whole.

The philosophical position most conformable with AS is empiricism. Just the facts ma'am.

Not with me. I would contend for Realist Rationalism.

What IS a "philosophical disorder"?

Sounds like you mean: if someone reads Plato(say) instead of Aristotle(say) they become autistic. So therapists should give candy to reward autistic children for reading aristotle to cure them of autism. :lol:
