This sounds very much like empathy - the ability to mirror the feelings of another person, based on their body language, tone, and mannerisms. In general, people with Asperger's lack the wiring for empathy, and in a highly functional person with Asperger's, it can be like an extreme example of what you've described.
My guess is that the relative degree of empathy in a person can vary - disorder on one end, highly extroverted folks on the other. I tend to be someplace in the middle.
