Autist's have trouble showing and interperting emotions... It doesnt mean they dont feel or have emotion.
For example: If you show an autistic person a picture of an angry looking face and you ask him; What emotion do you see?
They can't pin it on 'angry'...
But it doesnt mean they cant get angry.
So if you wonder; Will my autistic boyfriend ever love me? The answer is: He probably allready does...
What else can I help you with?

An IQ of 80 or 90 is below average. Fortunately, this has little to do with my understanding of functioning. The score you might be looking for is called the global assessment of functioning (GAF) score. If your score was 80-90 on that, it would suggest high functioning.
