Can people lack knowledge cuz of Aspergers like not knowing household things, how to keep refrigerated working, water heater, heater, washer & dryer machines, TVs, things like that.

It is common for people to have narrow fields where they are experts but have a low general knowledge. This kinda describes me.

Many people are unhandy. AS probably increases the range - you may have a particularly hard time with technology, but I get much of my stuff free by fixing it. Last year, I replaced the roof on my house. Cars only cost me $200 pa for parts and depreciation, but they are reliable and economical to run.
