Well, according to my doctor, I was currently diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome, myself. I don't know much about it, to be frank, or whether there different levels, but for me, going through high school, I didn't have much friends either. I was a loner, but I enjoyed being by myself. I was never a social person. I was bullied here to there, but I overcame that, and, in all honesty, I was proud of who I was. I would say, don't worry about it. I don't know what level of Aspergers he may have, but if he's like me, he will find his own way.
Oh, thank you for this info, I really appreciate this. One thing I'm worried about is him being bullied; I want to somehow prevent that from happening. He speaks monotone, he's repetitive, he would goes back and forth pacing himself, it's sometimes difficult to understand what he says but if I try hard enough it gets across, he's quiet, he speaks if spoken to and doesn’t make a lot of eye contact. I know he’s a good kid and that’s part of aspersers but I'm afraid that will prevent him from making friends I don’t want them to judge him and I'm pretty sure kids nowadays don’t understand what aspersers is and they might treat him like an idiot.
Well, there's no way you can prevent him from being bullied. Kids are going to be bastards, regardless. I would just say, be there for him when he needs you and always remain a friend to him. Stand up for him when the time comes and let him know he's got somebody by his side. One true friend is greater than the amount of several not so good friends :)
