Autistics are supposed to be frustrated and confused by the world of other human beings, which operates on principles they can't understand (because they can't perceive the various cues involved, or something).

They compensate by imposing arbitrary rules on their own routines, which make sense to them. This keeps their personal worlds comfortable and understandable, for them.

That's what I heard anyway.

He had Asperger's syndrome, not autism if I recall well. Asperger's syndrome people, like autists, have difficulty in interacting with other people so that's why the anti-social attitudes.
