Good point about the meltdowns. They're common during childhood, but usually disappear after adolescence. I did have a co-worker who was much further "up the spectrum" than me, and he still had occasional meltdowns despite being in his twenties. I discovered this when he mentioned kicking a hole in the wall of his bedroom (he still lived with his parents, and I doubt he would cope will living independently, that's how extreme his Asperger's was). It was very interesting for me as someone also with Asperger's to watch his interactions with people, as it gave me some insight into how I behave as well.
