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.

The Asperger's newsgroup I belong to has been discussing Dr Dixon. Most of us seem to have kids who are overly outgoing and lack acceptable social skills, none of us seem to have kids who are cold like she was. My son is one of those who has all the little quirky characteristics and also goes on and on when it comes to a particular subject (TV shows).
