My grandson has it.
A teacher I had co wrote a book IN MY MIND and it is very interesting.
A JOURNEY THROUGH MY LIFE WITH ASPERGER'S AUTISM
ALEX OLINKIEWICZ
You can watch a 8 minute video on YOUTUBE that has this young man telling his story.
He tells of his likes and dislikes, sensitivity to textures, can only eat certain foods etc

Yes there are differences but lots and lots of similarities. And the degree of Aspergers coincides with the functioning ability of the person
And he likes the way he is.
