Of course, low self esteem can lead introverts to be even more introverted but again, introversion and aspies aren't necessarily entwined.
Anyone know of an extroverted aspie?
And guess what... a few people said yes...
How many extroverts have low self esteem?
I rest my case - Aspergers is NOT just Low Self esteem masquerading as something else...
I think there are a lot of Extroverts with low self esteem. Having a compulsion to speak and express does not necessarily mean a person likes themself.
I think self esteem is more related to the confidence to be yourself, and both aspies and NTs can feel this but its not a given in life. Life tends to take away self esteem if you dont work on it.
