With both autism and Asperger's the individual has problems connecting with other people, but the real difference is in the approach to the problem. Autistic people tend to have little interest with social interactions, or may try to 'figure out' other people, this is what I referred to as autistic behaviour in the post description. It is pretty much as you said, it's easier to attempt to figure people out by categorization, although in reality the result isn't reflective of actual people. Whereas with Asperger's, people will try to emulate other people's behaviour in an attempt to fit in, usually with minimal success, and feel exhausted with trying to maintain a small number of friendships.
