As an adult it manifests in wanting to wear the same clothes all the time because he can't deal with different sensations. He was extremely anxious all the time at school and I think that had allot to do with it. I am not sure if there is a link with RSDS or not. I have ADHD but I am deffinitely not Aspergers.
