"So, IOW, he had no trouble understanding that if you stab someone you just might kill him."
One trait of Asperger's is an inability to feel or express the normal range of human emotion. There is an inability to "read" emotions in others (lack of empathy), and the person with Asperger's attempts to express emotion may seem forced - or inappropriate to the situation.
Last year we had our son tested as he displayed some of the symptoms, but when it came to expressing emotion and judging emotion in others - he was able to do this, so Asperger's was ruled out.
