I am perhaps talking about someone entrusted with responsibility of a great many people. But maybe I am not.
And now I am talking about someone with Aspergers Syndrome. And I am in no way making the claim that is the same person or isn't as per above.
And from what I read Aspergers Syndrome is no longer a separate condition from Downs Syndrome but is listed as part of the Downs Syndrome Spectrum Disorder.
So they are separate?
But per the definition 16 to18% of people with Downs Syndrome also have Autism Spectrum Disorder.

So here is what Aspergers Syndrome is defined to be, and it is considered part of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
- Poor social interactions
- Unusual speech patterns
- Limited facial expressions
- Unique mannerisms
- Obsessive routines or interests
- Sensitivity to sensory stimuli
- Trouble with social interactions
- Restricted interests
- Near obsessive interest in a particular subject
- A desire for uniformity
- Distinctive strengths
- Superior rote memory
- Ability to understand technical or factual information
- Trouble absorbing abstract information
- Tendency to focus on details, which may result in missing “the bigger picture”.
