They are filling up scarce classes that teach skills like how close to stand next to someone at a party, or how to tell when people are angry even when they are smiling. Others, like Mr. Miller, have decided to disclose their diagnosis, hoping to deflect the often-hostile responses their odd manners and miscues provoke. In some cases, it has helped. In others, it seemed only to elicit one more rejection.

Sounds to me like just another new payday for the psychology / drug industry by scaring / pandering to yet another group.

Answer but no cure

Read further – talking about the author himself. Changed everything even though nothing changed – small talk disorder. Thousands of adults have it or think they do. Filling up scarce classes – learning to stand close to others. Lost causes seem to be some of the peoples feelings. Making fun of the @$$burger syndrome – repeated the word several times looking for the author. No real cure – everything has changed even though nothing actually changes. Become confident and not shy, even it is hard to do without help.
