The actor Atticus Shaffer is not described as having autism or Asperger's Syndrome (AS), and details about him do not make it seem likely. The character he plays on the television series The Middle, Brick, is "quirky" and has symptoms that make it seem possible that the character has an autism spectrum disorder, but the character is not identified as having one on the show.

What are the similarities between autism and Asperger's Syndrome?
Well to clarify, Asperger's Syndrome is within the Autism Spectrum Disorders. So it would help if you were more specific. But Asperger's Syndrome is classified as High Functioning Autism. Symptoms are commonly associated with social dysfunctions and antisocial behavior. Children with AS tend to be smart and have similar symptoms to that of OCD (obsessive Compulsive Disorder), having an ability to "zero in" on specific topics and often repeating speech and behavior. Autism, or the most common form associated in the media, is defined by the ASFA as: A complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first two years of life and is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Both children and adults on the autism spectrum typically show difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. Autism is one of five disorders that fall under the umbrella of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), a category of neurological disorders characterized by "severe and pervasive impairment in several areas of development." (Copied from http://www.autism-society.org/site/PageServer?pagename=about_whatis) All of the disorders within the Spectrum have symptoms of social dysfunction of one degree or another. Whether it is lack of speech or general communication or inability to understand social cues.
What is the severity of Ray's autism in the movie with Tom Cruise?
The movie you're describing I'm fairly sure is Rain Man, starring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. Hoffman plays Raymond who suffers from Asperger's syndrome (AS). AS is a form of autism, however it is classed as high-functioning autism. As to the severity of Raymond's autism, he portrays someone of whom has a very high level of Asperger's syndrome. That sort of Asperger's, is of course, possible, and I'm sure there are certain people in the world whom experience this. However to the degree to which Hoffman portrays is exceptionally rare. So basically, Ray functions at a very high level of AS. Hope that helps!
