Here is a well know example of a gifted Asperger’s sufferer.

The very first Autistic student that I worked with as a one on one aide was very smart. He is high functioning and over the years learned how to deescalate before his anger got out of control. He also thought using any kind of technology was "cheating" so he didn't want to use a computer.
On the other hand, he was brilliant. I know that someday I will read about how he has invented something wonderful! A very neat kid!

I’m familiar with Dr Grandin’s work—have read her books. She is wonderful. She is also atypical for autistic people.
I was wondering more about the blessings of Asperger’s, which my friend has, than autism. It can be sort of exasperating.
