I think this is broadly well considered although I have a bit of trouble understanding this point:

> Social awkwardness refers to social ineptness without meaningful impairment

Isn't social awkwardness sort of inherently impairing in social relationships?

I read it as "without other psychological or psychiatric issues which cause social difficulties."

It seems very tightly focussed, and more behavioural - and open to behavioural training - than other categories.
