It seems that labels do come in handy. How else would you be able to provide the link, "Asperger's Syndrome Checklist"?

Characteristics that seem to apply:

1) May not understand if a conversation is boring, especially if her talking is fast and somewhat garbled at times.

2) Problems with two way conversation: Has trouble maintaining a two way conversation. Talks at someone rather than with the person. Speaks inappropriately such as too loudly or softly.

3) Does not comprehend facial expressions, body language or gestures.

4) Rigid range of interests for social interaction: True, not all subjects are welcomed.

That's about it. Those are the ones that seem to apply.
