I understand that, which is why I put it in double quotes and qualified the statement. It doesn't seem to me like you can flip a switch and be "cured." Another question -- what's the overlap/relationship between introversion and autism/Asperger's? I'm not saying introverts have Asperger's, I'm wondering if people with Asperger's are often also introverted. (lots of trigger-happy people thinking I said you had autism for being an introvert... which is not what I asked)
An introvert will lose energy rather than gain it in complex or highly active social situations, but will still emotionally feel a good connection with the person or people they're around. Someone with ASD has a much more difficult time "feeling" the positive benefits of socialization, whilst they may learn to enjoy it more from a left-brain analytical perspective. Not to say its a lack of empathy, in fact you can actively feel other's emotions in many cases, but the actual inner feelings of community and belonging may be pretty muted.
No. We are never cured; we learn to cope if we have the mental capability. We are not cured.
