Asperger people are not as simple as many non autistic people. When working with or meeting with someone (especially when you have only met with them for only a few hours or less) you should not come to conclusions so quickly.
A story to emphasis this point
One of the people I worked with in NY didn't show interest in having a counselor. I got the same reception One time I was working with him he called me a name, and another time while I was escorting him to a doctors appointment he worked to sneak past me and go home without me. I chose to just stay on working with him for the time being. That was a good move on my part because I saw he was going with the camp group he was in. I realized as long as we go somewhere that he likes he'll come and stay with me. I was right, and was able to help this boy better after realizing that point.
