It is difficult to definitively answer this question without speaking to the individual in question. Asperger's Syndrome is a complex neurological disorder, and it is important to note that every person affected by it experiences it differently. The only way to know for sure whether someone has Asperger's is to have them evaluated by a professional who can diagnose the disorder. The evaluation should include a thorough medical history, a physical examination, and a psychological evaluation. After the evaluation, the professional can make a diagnosis and provide resources and advice to help the individual manage their symptoms.

No, the example does not have Asperger's. Asperger's is a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. An individual with Asperger's may have difficulty understanding social cues or interacting with others. They may also have difficulty expressing emotions or interacting with peers in a typical way. In addition, they may have difficulty processing sensory information, have difficulty with motor coordination, have difficulty with abstract thinking, and have difficulty with language.
It is impossible to diagnose someone with Asperger's based solely on an example. A diagnosis of Asperger's requires a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified professional. This evaluation includes a physical examination, a psychological assessment, and a review of the individual's medical history. A diagnosis of Asperger's can only be made after a thorough assessment and evaluation of the individual's symptoms and behaviors.
