We don't have either. We're actually very sensitive to things that (from my limited understanding) people who have Asperger's or autism generally aren't, like body language and social cues. And we overall are fine with lots of sensory input and things.
So. I don't know if it's a case of "Suzie has brown hair. Suzie is a girl. All girls have brown hair" faulty logic or whether there's some overlap or what.
Speaking from the multiple perspective, I think that if there are multiple people in a body, the statistics just tend to go that you may have a person who has X, because there are enough people 'in the room' so to speak to have various Xs.
I also kind of question the idea that autistics "create" personalities in response to in a sense, their trauma - it goes back to this idea that multiples create themselves as a response, from a singular original personality - something that doesn't fit with our experience of ourselves.
