As a mother of young adults in the Autism Spectrum I am happy for this young man to have met you and is dating you. Someone with an Asperger's diagnosis would be the "highest" level of social interaction ability and IQ from my reading. The United States Mental Health diagnosis book no longer classifies asperger's separate from Autism. People who are neuro-divergent tend to speak in facts, and as with everyone the sense of humor varies. Within my nuclear family(8) made of myself, husband, biological and adopted children, 5 are within the spectrum. Of those 5, two were diagnosed by doctors ,1 by herself, husband by me, and the last believes she is but wants tested. Your guy sounds worth the investment of time, learn first by asking him questions, and by online reading. My husband is now a grumpy old man but was the sweetest, giving, loving man until his hgv heart attack 15vyears ago. Still his actions speak louder than his words, his actions are his love language.
