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.

If he knows you have Aspergers and understands what it means then no, YANBU. I have an adult son with AS and I am more than happy about the relationship he and I have.

It sounds like he already understands, so I don't think you have anything to feel guilty about. He probably doesn't want you to give him any more "warmth" if you are already really good friends. I bet he's probably really happy with the situation.

could you write it down? I mean, you have written it here, and it's obviously on your mind. Agree though that there's no need to change anything, he seems happy!
