People with AS can have perfectly fine social skills as they can learn them just like everyone else. AS is a developmental disorder and lifelong mental disorder, so its most likely to be at its worst during childhood, but it is with the person for there whole life, even if they don't show it. Autism is a spectrum, and the personalities of autistic individuals vary a lot, maybe even more than that of non-autistic people. OCD, on the other hand, is mostly the same thing, even if its takes upon slightly different forms. Does Twilight show obsessive, illogical, disturbing thoughts and performs compulsive rituals to rid herself of them? No she does not, so she doesn't have OCD. People confuse the stereotypes of disorders with the actual disorders a ton, and many of the things that people think are OCD behaviors are actually autistic behaviors. Twilight has been living with the princess/goddess for years, so she could have had a lot of time to learn social skills.
