Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior.

Second off welcome to the world of autism, it is another planet which is quiet different but yet has it's beauty and luxury.
I can only say research or go to the autism society of america and find out more and have your questions answered. I dunno much about Aspergers, but I met a man name Dan whom has it and he's a joy and light of my life for helping me and giving me light on autism.
PATIENCE AND PERSERVERANCE is key in this new world.
always remember about these autistic people. They're struggling and trying harder then you ever think and a lot of stuff they can't comprehend and understand. Stand by him and he'll show you a world you'd never see in regular society. Open your heart and mind into his eyes and see what most people can't. It's hard, I'd admit but it's rewarding the love in the end.

You're in the right place. Welcome to DS.
Blessed be.
