I feel sorry for him, he's in for a life of emotional pain. He can't maintain a relationship outside his parents. Very logical and intelligent- yet unable to connect with kids

Warmest respect for what you and your wife are doing. But how does MY son ("Little Bear") manage to attend your chess classes?? lol....
Seriously, the asperger's mind is a beautiful thing, linear and direct. But if you should ever be so unfortunate as to choose your own hell, take ANY door but the one labeled "friendless child." Trust me.
Pertaining to chess: I play a good game proceeding basically on talent. But exceptional opponents invariably beat me. When I get time, I do intend to learn, really learn, about chess.
Shane is 25, stands 6'2, and weighs in at 240, btw.
