This is a VERY late answer, but I think the answer is yes. I myself have Asperger's Syndrome, and he acts A LOT like I do. People seem to think he has this because he tends to act like a child, but that's (most likely) not why. The way he always has his thumb on his lips or in his mouth is similar to what I used to do. I used to suck on two of my fingers almost constantly. And like me, he seems to always have to need to be moving. Another thing I used to do was rock back and forth whenever I was on a sofá or in a chair. I've stopped that, but I now have a rocking chair I use when I'm at home; usually only when I'm on my laptop, thinking about anything and everything, or reading. Also, I noticed that his pupils are rather large. Due to the medications I take, my pupils are also very close to the size of my iris. Another thing is how he likes to stack things. When I was little, I used to stack everything that would stack. Especially stacking Legos into gigantic towers. I still do stack things, actually. Another thing is how he basically didn't pay attention to that Misa Misa commercial; like it wasn't even there. A lot of people think that Aspies are just asexual, which isn't true. I can't speak for everybody, but l seems a lot like me when it comes to that. I do experience attraction to people, but it's not something you can see clearly on my face nor will I seem to be paying attention. And yes, sometimes I'm not paying attention to it, even though it's there. A lot of the time, people with Asperger's tend to have a very little attention span unless it's something that speaks to them. For example, música and history speak to me. I could spend all dia listening to música and studying the history of the world; though there are quite a few more. Anyway, before I forget what I'm supposed to be doing: I think that unless l is particularly interested in things like that at the time, he's just going to ignore it, like I do. And you mentioned less social behavior. Like L, I don't leave my room or my house unless I absolutely have to. People with Asperger's tend to need time alone; like to be alone. They may not always want to be alone, but will like to be alone (with or without someone they consider a true friend; like Watari is to L) mais often than not. And I can see your point about inability to register social cues. The only emotions I can see are happiness, sadness, and anger. To me, everything else looks like a blank face; with no emotion at all. I also lack the ability to read body language, so I can't understand what people are trying to do or how they feel. When I first saw L, my brain went "Literally me!" because I used to look exactly like that. The hair and just omg. Another thing with Asperger's in insomnia, which I do have as well. I probably don't need to go into that, though. Anyway I'm sO SORRY IT'S SO LONG PLEASE FORGIVE MY NEED TO RABMLE!
