My brother and I both have Asperger's but we are vastly different people. I would say I am far more proficient socially than he is. I still "slip up" socially at times, but I was lucky to have a friend who "taught" me throughout my childhood how to act appropriately.
We have our different obsessions, stims and little OCD things that we do to keep ourselves calm and tranquil. We both suffer from anxiety and depressive disorders. One autistic person will not be remotely the same as another. I've met a few other Aspies and we have all been vastly different, however where we find something in common is our unique fixations and habits.
