Each person with any illness or anomalies will typically present differently and have unique challenges. Sometimes they show people on TV with aspergers and they in no way shape or form represent my son. My son has a pretty classic case but he LOVES hugs and we've taught him to have eye contact and be more comfortable with it. Without all the specialized care he received when younger I think he would be presenting much differently now. Getting help is never a bad thing if you need it.

Working with people who have aspergers does require a great deal of patience and an ability to see a situation through different lenses. Many people simply cannot connect with people on the spectrum. Educating yourself on how to see things in less black and white extremes is just good advise for anyone. Good luck.
