Hi. Ive joined especially to post on this one particular thread, after reading here since the start of BB.
I hope you dont mind me quoting you, but being "severely autistic" and having Aspergers are not the same thing. Aspergers is called "high functioning autisim" because its exactly that. I have AS, so does my Daughter and my Brother. In my opinion (only my opinion) Halfwit shows many traits of having AS.
He has little "social awareness" and I have said from day one that I believe he has Aspergers, as have many of my family and people who work with me re- aspergers.
Id go out on a limb here and say YES, he has AS.

I think his high degree of empathy as well as strong ability to express himself emotionally made it a poor fit to the diagnosis.

Yes, I see where your coming from. I feel empathy for people though, as does my daughter, but my brother doesnt. Some traits are stronger than others in AS.
We all have an opinion though, and if we all agreed it would be a boring place
