When you explain it like that, it makes sense. I'm surprised that didn't even cross my mind, and C&H was a special interest for a large chunk of my life! The only thing that would make me doubt it is how he handles his interests. You could say that his special interests are dinosaurs, aliens, and/or fantasy worlds. However, out of those three interests I mentioned, dinosaurs is the only one he actually gathers and states factual information about. As well, the level of control he has over his interests is quite high for a kid his age. For example, I can't recall a comic where Calvin was talking to Susie specifically about dinosaur facts and that was it. I mean, sure, you could chock that up to his intelligence, but that can only go so far.
None of that rules out Aspergers.
