It goes to show how stupid you are to ask such a question.

Asperger's is by definition a high functioning autism. If someone is
retarded, they may only have low fucntioning autism, or more likely,
are not autistic per se at all.

Really? Or does it show stupidity on the part of someone else in this
discussion? LoL.

In contrast to Autistic Disorder, Mental Retardation is not usually
observed in Asperger's Disorder, although occasional cases in which
Mild Mental Retardation is present have been noted (e.g.,when the
Mental Retardation becomes apparent only in the school years, with no
apparent cognitive or language delay in the first years of life).
Variability of cognitive functioning may be observed, often with
strengths in areas of verbal ability (e.g.,vocabulary, rote auditory
memory) and weaknesses in non-verbal areas (e.g.,visual-motor and
visual-spatial skills). Motor clumsiness and awkwardness may be
present but usually are relatively mild, although motor difficulties
may contribute to peer rejection and social isolation (e.g.,inability
to participate in group sports). Symptoms of overactivity and
inattention are frequent in Asperger's Disorder, and indeed many
individuals with this condition receive a diagnosis of Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder prior to the diagnosis of Asperger's
Disorder. Asperger's Disorder has been reported to be associated
with a number of other mental disorders, including Depressive
Disorders.

I think 2pid is breaking new ground here. Perhaps as he ages his
retardation is becoming more severe.

I think further study is warranted. 2pid should immediately donate his
body to science. LoL.
