    Not only those with LFA can be hurt by the disorder. From the sound of it this woman is high-functioning and I bet many people with HFA/AS would do similar things (wander away to the library, anyone?)

    I've definitely done similar things myself. I still do. I don't think about the danger involved, assume it will be okay.
