there is absolutely nothing wrong with us. the most interesting mind-wander i have had in this general line of thought is around the idea of passion in an interest... to me that's very natural. but i struggle to imagine any alternative, or try to figure out what exactly it feels like for someone who is generally neurotypical but still pursues some interest to a huge degree of depth and passion, becomes an expert in it, and whose identity is defined by it. this is why i find it an interesting crossover in aspie personality to have very strong passions and interests. that's just a talent. it's got nothing specifically to do with the spectrum, yet it's been used to classify asperger or "savant" personalities quite generally

there is no person that doesn't have flaws. in other words we all have talents and areas of little or no proficiency. everyone, not just aspies, benefit from self discovery and understanding to harness the talents and minimize the impact in daily interaction of our lower proficiencies
