Asperger's/PDD

just the description of that young man did not sound at all like Asperger's, but rather a somewhat introverted young person.

I have a son who does have Asperger's, and there is a profound difference between my son and the description of the young man in the article.

I also got partway through all the comments, and someone pointed out that brutal honesty is another hallmark of Asperger's. Boy, let me tell you that those people have no idea of the "little white lie" or just saying something polite rather than saying, "yes, that dress does make you look fat."
