Your experts are too invested in studying those who live within society to even consider that a person can have a fulfilling life outside of it. These experts are the ones who devise school programs and community enrichment and all the strictures that press the life out of anyone not suited for them. After all, if they're not suited, they have to be "fixed". You as well -- you seem to think that despite having no desire to conform to any social structure, of course a person will seek romantic attention and of course they'll have sex. The idea of these being anti-goals didn't cross your mind, even in the context of opting out of societal engagements.
Look to the stories we tell ourselves. Look to the stories of the genius inventor, the witch in the woods, the anchorite, the man on the mountain. The persistent meme of the outsider, living for their own purpose. These people existed and still exist, and are doing just fine.
