having worked with this population for a long time, I can tell you that, while any description of a disorder makes you think "Hm, *I* (or someone I know) show signs of that!", realize that these people are usually to the nth degree. Lots of people are socially awkward. Some people are on the extreme end.
Because it is a spectrum disorder, people can fall anywhere on the range. Also, I had a student once with William's Syndrome. I've never met anyone like her before or since.
