 Aspberger's per se is no longer recognized as a specific syndrome in the spectrum of autism.  We had a high functioning autistic student whose personality sucked, but he eventually could safely fly.  And I was surprised to learn that there are autistic airline pilots, and very good ones - apparently one aspect of the syndrome is the intense intention to detail works well in some high functioning autistic persons in the cockpit!
