Seriously, some people need to get off of this forum and go educate themselves.

Erm, as a parent of someone with AS I can categorically say I am NOT talking out of my arse and that he indeed does display many of the symptoms. You sure have a s**** way with words eh.

Yes, I do have a way with words. That comes from being educated. Though I do empathize with your child having AS, I can assure you that Freddie does not have it.
Here are the symptoms. I will bold the ones that Freddie MIGHT have:
Lack of managing appropriate social conduct
High intelligence
Anger management problems
Controlling feelings such as depression, fear or anxiety
Lack of empathy
Inability to listen to others
Inflexible thinking
Repetitive routines provides feelings of security
Stress when their routine suddenly changes
Inability to think in abstract ways
Specialised fields of interest
Visual thinking
So... Freddie is smart so therefore he has Aspergers? Sorry. Doesn't compute. He is probably one of the MOST empathetic people I have seen on TV. He is very flexible in his thinking. He doesn't have rituals or repetitive routines. He is able to think in very abstract ways. In fact, his ability to do so sometimes goes right over the heads of the others because they aren't very smart. He is not a visual thinker. He doesn't obsess over a specific subject. He is extremely peaceful so there are no anger management problems.
So, sorry, but you are wrong.
