Is the inability to follow complex instructions a symptom of ASD?

I also have a little trouble with double negatives when reading - cannot,will not,shall not,etc.

'Normal',Aspergers,or...?

Thanks again.

I scored in the 98th percentile for both in childhood tests, it's non-verbal communication I struggle with. Isn't above average verbal reasoning considered an aspie trait (perhaps due to having to compensate for the lack of non-verbal skills)?

Hmm. Looks like I'm not alone in verbal comprehension.

Worsens, with stress -- physical or mental.

Photographic, if calm. Strong enough, to unsettle people and win literal prizes.
