I never remember hearing it in the press, but Ted Kozinski must be an AS. The bizarre interests, social difficulties and obsessions.
I know a lady that is AS. She looks like a model but is a social oddball. She alternates isolation with going to Singles retreats where she is the center of attention. Her verbal reparte is phenomenal. She specializes in finding alternate meanings in whatever you say. She is very sensitive to loud sounds. A couple of years ago she discovered computer programming. Now she is going to school for it but is in no hurry to finish. She had a brief marriage to her date rapist. She now dates constantly but always drops the guys who get serious. They can prolong the friendship(it has to be platonic) by hiding that fact.
Actually my brother has a lot of charactereistics. High IQ, amd socially clueless. He is a little farther up the continuum toward normality.
