My nephew has Asperger's' and this was a problem for us when he was younger. It was really frustrating, because sometimes you'd get some idiot kid who thought it was funny to make him do or believe something totally was absurb, but because he perceived that person as his friend, he'd go along. Now as a teen, he knows the difference just like any of us do.
He also had social skills problems as well (still do in a way because he can be shy sometimes - except around girls
), until he discovered things that he was good at (like music) and learned to make friends through his music classes. Being actively involved in our church's youth group also helped him develop socially as well.
