Dr. Dixon did seem extreme, and deadbear is right -- like anything else on the spectrum, it's different for every one.
Our son sounds more like the guy from your high school. You might just mistake his Aspergers for some lousy social skills if you didn't know a few give-away clues he presents -- not looking people in the eye, talking on and on about a particular subject (perseverence) and a few others.
