Has some points, but also a few things are out-right wrong, and a lot is missing.

It's very important to know that a) Not all aspies/auties have all traits but some
Why? 1. Social conditioning and 2. For genetic reasons
For example, gluten and casein sensitivity is more common in autistics/aspies, but it's not a 100% correlation.
Also "neurotypicals" have some asperger/autistic traits because of mating reasons and also because of conditioning in the other way.

The traits in the box are all correlated with eachother to some extent. The largest correlation is in the nonverbal problemes (because it's a diagnostic criteria for both asperger/autism) and selfless instead of selfishness. Also it's important to know that people can become each type just by hanging around people of that type.

Many people would suggest that physical laziness is an asperger trait, but this ignores the many people with asperger/autism who're VERY atletic and interested in doing physical actiivties and sports. It's important to know that physical laziness also has to do with cleaning etc. People with asperger are sometimes lazy in this kind of activitites but the reason for this is often control imbalance (high levels of stress, a factor which is environmental, which cause procrastination).
