Interesting to hear your group's reaction. My son can be very outgoing with people he's comfortable with -- otherwise it can be a real struggle getting him to answer the simplest question or make the most basic response to someone speaking to him.
And he's funny about going on and on about particular subjects. Unlike some with Asperger's who stay fixed on a particular subject for years and years, with him the subject changes periodically. Right now, my wife and I are very, very ready to stop hearing about fennic foxes.
