Clearly, it can range from being very quiet and to yourself all the way to being what people interpret as a massive a-hole

Agreed, and maybe I got a little defensive. I'll concede that kids with Aspergers (I don't know any adults who have been diagnosed) get angry, can scream and can be aggressive, but honestly, who doesn't?

I also saw self-isolation, loneliness and sensory sensitivity, which would probably not be the traits of a kid who is lashing out at everyone, so yes, you can get a bunch of different things from a kid with Aspergers.
