giftedticchyper - being shy is not what I am talking about. My son almost never expresses interest in other people and this is true of all the Aspie kids I know (including my niece). In your example, where your son has lots of questions about the person he met (even though he didn't ask them at the time), my son is likely to behave as if the person never existed.
If you bring the meeting up, he will agree it happened and may even comment on some aspect of the meeting like where the meeting occurred. But he will not ask "insightful" questions about that person as a general rule. If he does have questions they are not focused on the motives/emotions/thoughts of that person (i.e. no "why" questions).
