My stepson, Jeff, who I helped raise, has Asperger's Syndrome, high-functioning autism. He had difficulty forming social relationships in high school, especially with the opposite gender, and could go on for hours about the tiniest minutiae relative to his video games but had difficulty with people. We worked on that constantly with a therapist and he is now a relatively normal 27 year old, though he still really has a hard time making friends.
