Some of the traits are not being able to read others well, poor social skills, often gifted in a specific area, diminished eye contact and a harder time fitting into society. It seems high functioning autism usually comes with high intelligence. I wonder if some of the planets play a role?

One of the leading theories is an extremely male brain, possibly Mars and Mercury in the foreground with a highly afflicted Uranus thrown in for neurological disease?

He's only interested in a few things and does them well. Work, grilling, watching sports and music trivia. That's about it. Doesn't read. Doesn't golf, doesn't hang out with friends. Only friends are family and coworkers. Real simple.
Socially he talks too loud, repeats himself often, and stands too close to people. When talks face to face he always stares at you with both eyes. Animate eyes. He is always in a hurry and hardly relaxes. He is a workaholic. Very disorganized. Has a short fuse. Is happy and excited, whistling and singing at one moment, then gets mad right after. High frustration tolerance unless somethings gets in his way like at work or driving. Road rage big time!

That's really broad except for the friends parts, I was very socially and talkative when growing up, until my anxiety and depression became worse, at about 18. Now, I've developed a chronic fear of rejection which impedes my socialization.
I really don't have a broad range of interests myself either, I love music, plants, animals, astrology, studying, and learning about spirituality and life. Sometimes, I think I'm autistic, and I discuss it with family members, and they remind me that even as a child I was very perceptive about feelings, rules, and I could inherently learn the reasons behind those rules, and I was an early talker and walker.

. The first two could be related to ADD/ADHD

. ADHD or Bipolar, For about a week or so when my ADHD meds were working, I had an alleviation from these symptoms: Short Fuse, Always Rushing, Never Relaxing ect.

I don't really believe anyone is totally off the spectrum 100 percent, this is why it's called a spectrum, we might all have a little autism in our brains, just like no one is genuinely 100 percent straight.

for a lack of social connection, look for Venus in aspect to Pluto, Saturn or Uranus.

And for special interest or super intelligence check mercury placement. Probably Mercury Uranus .

When you combine this two traits together you get an typical asperger kid.

Someone with Venus afflicted by said planets can be easily identified as asperger because of their isolation behavior or strange relationship pattern. But most aspergers are only moderate or above moderate in intelligence ,only a few possess super intelligence. This is because most of them do not have a outstanding mercury.

Generally such kids have a strong Uranus or Pluto placement in their chart. Aspecging to angles or personal planets.

Pluto is fesponsible for a lack of social connection and fanatic obsession. Uranus special interest or out of ordinary talents.
