Anyone familiar with Asperger's

My nephew, who just turned four, has been showing characteristics of aspergers. At first I thought my sister was just imagining things but then I started to think about the fact that she does deal with this everyday being a special education teacher. She sees signs and starts investigating.
Well back when my sister was pregnant with Michael the ultrasound show four to five choriod plexus cycts in the right hemisphere of the brain. They did another ultrasound at 26 weeks and the cysts were gone.
Shannan has always wonder about Michael. He has always been hard to handle. He is very active at home~kind of like ADHD. Doesn't sit for five minutes like most kids his age. He can and will at times have out bursts of behavior issues even though he is very loving. It is like he can't control himself.
I will admit when my sister first said something to me I thought she was overreacting. To me Michael was just a normal 3 year old. Well that was until she moved in with my parents and I have been around Michael a little more.
Also when we were doing research on the internet we found where Asperger's was originally called Asperger's choriod plexus. Strange. Part of that is because the part of the brain asperger's affects.
So now since I have taken up half of the bandwidth here does anyone here have dealings with either austism or asperger's? Have you ever heard a link between Aspergers and choroid plexus cycts?
It is like I told my sister she already has one foot in the door when it comes to getting Michael tested and help. She is a special education teacher and works with children who have austism and aspergers. So she does have some background for what she is seeing in her son. I know this is putting a strain on her. Our family has already been through so much with the death of my son, our grandfather, two uncles, and this. My mom is not helping either when Shannan tries to talk to her. She keeps telling Shannan that she is imagining all of this even our mom will make comments that Michael is doing things that seem bizarre.
Any info or links or just someone who is dealing with aspergers or has a family member with it.
