Dear Out_sider,

I don't know anything about autism, however, I found a WebMD Autism page and community that might help you:
http://forums.webmd.com/3/parenting-exchange/forum/3301/ .

If you aren't able to get an answer in this community, maybe they could help you over there.

Good Luck!

These issues are often the result of the social skill deficits associated with ADHD not necessarily autism. May I suggest the book, What Does Everybody Else Know That I Don't Know? by Michele Novotni, PhD.
