Interesting, schizoid seems to be the norm for aspies and narcissistic very rare.

That web page author was very critical of the schizoid personality disorder diagnosis though.

Here is a link to more info on SPD on wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_p ... y_disorder

Quote:
Unlike Asperger's Syndrome, SPD does not involve an impairment in nonverbal communication (e.g., lack of eye-contact or unusual prosody) or a pattern of restricted interests or repetitive behaviors (e.g., a strict adherence to routines or rituals, or an unusually intense interest in a single topic). Instead people with SPD are typically more indifferent with regard to their activities (however, in a sample of schizoid children, Sula Wolff noticed that "Having special interest patterns differentiated highly between schizoid and control boys".) SPD does not affect the ability to express oneself or communicate effectively with others, and is not believed to be related to any form of autism.

Schizotypal does seem to be close to AS, however. (Not exact, obviously, but the social problems are there, as well as misinterpreting social events, eccentric behavior, ect.)

Here's a good page for it: http://www.minddisorders.com/Py-Z/Schiz ... order.html
(If you go back to the main site, you can find more about schizoid too.)

Best quote from that page:

Quote:
Prognosis

The prognosis for the individual with schizotypal personality disorder is poor due to the ingrained nature of the coping mechanisms already in place. Schizotypals who depend heavily on family members or others are likely to regress into a state of apathy and further isolation. While some measurable gains can be made with mildly affected individuals, most are not able to alter their ingrained ways of perceiving or interpreting reality. When combined with poor social support structure, most will not enter any type of treatment.
