I think u might have something their. The fact that Aspies act in a way seemingly against what a person that is trying to be "good" and noble would. the Aspie is characterized to oppose and or act against the social norms in society, although often trying to act otherwise. The Aspie is protrayed to be opposite of what the normal "perfect" childern should act like. i might be off the mark, but i think i think you have a point.

It may not apply to all Aspies, but another reason Aspies posess some anti-heroic traits is most commit social faux pas every now & then to a degree.
