I have mild Asperger's but most of it is invisible to other people, and the traits that are more obvious only affect my behaviour and performance very mildly and so just make me come across as shy, nervous, and a little slow. I'm only average on most things intellectually, and below average on things like maths, science and technology, which to other people makes me come across as somebody with learning difficulties.

Yes.

Sorry to hear that about him.

But he would be the "poster child"-or the textbook example.
