There is no one feature or symptom that rules Asperger's in or out. Lots of people with autism have trouble traveling (those with sensory issues sometimes find noisy transit to be a problem) but many don't.

My DS is not even borderline-- he is unmistakably, definitely a person with AS. But he is truly happy being on an airplane to somewhere new, and a long delay in a smelly, noisy airport does not faze him. Go figure. Maybe because we took him places a lot as a baby?
