Anyone have an opinion on this?

Probably AS. But as Adelene already responded: So what?

There are advantages and disadvantages to having an AS boss. There are quirks to deal with, probably some tunnel vision and you are not likely to be understood as well (except, sometimes, if you think similarly or the AS person in question has expended effort learning psychology.) But on the other hand they are not going to get insecure and socially punish you if you go around with high status posture looking happy and confident - at least not if they aren't able to notice body language at all.

The only question that matters to you practically speaking is how the situation is to work in. If it sucks leave. If it doesn't suck stay.
