Who knows? With me I believe both are just there because they're there. But I get more and more inept when people make fun of my ineptness or criticize it or draw attention to it in any other way. So I'd say for me it's more the anxiety that's the problem. So I'm a lot more inept than I was when I started out, and that's because of my experiences! Not because I was *born* *that* inept! Not nearly! So then people think I was born that way and treat me even MORE like I'm inept, and so it compunds and accelerates and compunds and accelerates! Until I have a nervous, angry or depressed breakdown! And then they just think I had a breakdown because I couldn't stand my ineptness anymore.
To the ignoramuses: The reason why you ignoramuses think I was born that inept is because other ignoramuses like you who met me before you thought I was inept...!

I find that NTs in general tend to be immoral and somewhat idiotic. I think my "social problems" are merely social differences. Aspies get along with other Aspies; we're simply a new kind of human.

I've heard of this line of thinking. I hope you're not heading toward AS supremist talk.
As far as i can see we care about how we are percieved by others whereas NT care about justifing what they think others think of themselves.
