High tolerance to pain?

I was wondering if Aspergers gives a high tolerance to pain. On the 8th of February a crockpot of soup poured into 's shoe causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns. He had a skin graft 1 1/2 weeks ago and in this time he has felt no pain. He only took the pain medication the day he came home from the hospital because the site where the graft was taken hurt a little. Since then he never had any pain medication. When he got the burn he was fine that evening. Yes he was in pain when it happened but 4 hours later he was feeling fine with no pain. Has any of you noticed this in your family?

Oh yeah!!

It depends where Toby gets hurt! He could really smash his head on

something and will not bat an eyelid but if you slightly touch him

when he doesn't want you to he will cry and say that hurt! When he

falls he doesn't really do much he will cry sometimes but as soon as

you say never mind its all ok now he is fine and just forgets about

it. Almost as though he cries because thats what everyone else does

not because it hurts!! He doesn't even put his hands out to break a

fall either!

Zach cut his leg on the bleachers at school one day and never felt it.

Someone pointed out to him that his leg was bleeding badly and that was the

only way he knew.
