Depends on the exam board, OCR for example is based on designing and evaluating studies while other boards focus more on psychology as a science and carrying out experiments.

Hey

i have completed my a level psychology course only last year. For my course it we looked at theories and studies over different topics like social psychology social learning theory , biological psychology etc . Mostly involved just reading and understanding theories and studies, the essays we had to had to be objective instead of subjective. Its not hard at all just have to read and learn the studies and theories , and critique arguments with other theories and studies.

Your Asperger's won't stop you from studying psychology well - you don't need any real intuition into how people think, it's all based around evidence and science.
