A lot of it is nonsense, and I don't play into it either. Hardly means there is a neurological disorder going on. I dated a a foreign exchange student from Sweden in my late teens, and the one thing about her that sticks out in my mind is how bluntly matter-of-fact and open she was with just about everything we talked about. The topic of sex could've very well been a conversation about watching cars drive on the freeway because there was no social stigma attached to it like here in the States. To her it just was what it was. I'm not saying that this guy definitely does NOT have Asperger's, but I am saying that whatever the perceived lack of social "cues" he has may just be a cultural difference, if he's from another country. At least in my personal experiences with people from other places, on their end, there is a refreshing straight-forwardness, and a lot less tippy-toey fluff and hoop-jumping with whatever they're trying to say...
