Hi, and welcome.
Developmental and mental illness challenges. Add in drugs. Stir. Go crazy.
The whole IQ thing is a major challenge. Kids who are developmentally different sometimes can't even be assigned an IQ score, because they don't fit the parameters that make the test valid.
ADD and learning disabilities often go with Asperger's. They are just specific labels that assist in specific interventions - if those are available.
The original problem is the developmental challenge. Then came mental illness - and the combination is majorly difficult. At this point, the only kids who will tolerate having him around are the druggies. I understand how he got to where he is.
You say he understands right from wrong. Maybe. If he is an Aspie, he will be able to rattle off all of the "rules" - but may not really understand how each rule applies to every real-life situation. The black-and-white Aspie thinking is really different.
