Well, a lot of the *symptoms* are subjective, let's put it that way. One of the ones that got me diagnosed was "motor skill problems." But where do you cross the line between "quirky" and "problem?" I had trouble skipping until I was 16. Problem, or quirk? It's not like skipping is an essential life skill. That's why I say it's subjective. A lot of the symptoms - the ones I was diagnosed on, at least - have a lot of shades of gray in them.
As for stats, there is a reason I'm not a maths major ^_^;; Apparently I stood in line for literary skills twice and missed the maths line. (I've never been able to understand anything past prealgebra.)
I'm not saying I can't be wrong, it's just that in my experience it's unusual to find an illiterate Aspie.
