Default Asperger's syndrome

I'd like to hear from anyone who has a family member with Asperger's, which is a form of autism. I have married into a family where the grandmother has Asperger's and it took us a while to work out just why she was so odd. She functio quite well on a practical level, but there's no emotional dimension to her at all. Now that we have a diagnosis, her behaviors all make sense. But two of her children and two grandchildren exhibit signs of the disorder, and they are so hard to relate to, that I and the other in-laws have trouble when we have get-togethers. Does anyone have a similar experience?
