yup that is true as i said before i have 2 kids with aspergers. they either have no social interaction and even though people with aspergers are very smart when it comes to socially correct they have a very difficult time or they are too friendly and again socially inept. for example my daughter will go on and on and on about american girl dolls because she is obsessed with them and my son can tell you in great detail about cavities and teeth and every type of filling and why a person would need it. most of the time these children are extremely high functioning and can cook clean go shopping by themselves as well as do very well academically. for example my son is in the 6th grade and does work on that level. learns gemara, chumash as well as math reading etc and goes to shul by himself puts on tefillin like a typical boy but has some behavioral issues and obsesses about stuff
