for an obscenely accurate inside view of [a more extreme] asperger adolescent mind you could try reading

Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
(Doubleday, 2002)

the central character, 15yo christopher, expresses the literal-logical thinking, sensory sensitivity, need for routine, and difficulties understanding other people, and special interest/s that generally form the common features of aspergers.

for me it was like reading a more extreme version of my own teen years.
