to my best friend?

[Rebeccabecksworth23]

I was diagnosed with asperger's six years ago, since I have become best friends with a guy for the past six months. He is aware that I am aspie and is extremely kind and generous to me. He gives me space when he thinks that I want it. It's adorable. It's just that sometimes I feel so guilty that I cannot give him more warmth or just hang out with him more often. I want to sit down with him or talk to him and explain everything, but I find it so difficult.

don't feel guilty, he understands.

He tries too, but is a little clueless.

Could you write him a letter or similar so you can put your thoughts to him without having to actually do it face to face (much as you have done here in fact)? I'm sure he'll appreciate that you are considering his feelings however you express it and would rather have a chance to reassure you about your friendship than leave you feeling as though you're unreasonable.

just what I was thinking DoJo

Think the letter is a great idea. Try not to worry though - he chooses to spend time with you & it sounds like he has a really good understanding of what you need. Maybe the level of warmth you give is something he is comfortable with too - he doesn't necessarily want more from you. X
