My best friend also has Asperger's, so i know exactly how you feel. Being around someone with Asperger's can be mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting.
But he's your friend all the same. You shouldn't have started a relationship expecting your friend to change, especially now that you know having Asperger's isn't something he can change. He is who he is, and it's very selfish of you to want someone to change who they are for you.
People with Asperger's may have a hard time communicating their feelings, but they still have them. Trust me, deep down he's knows you are his friend and he would be sad if you broke off your friendship, even if it doesn't seem like it. Your friend is a human being, and every human being, whether having a mental illness or not, deserves love and companionship.
You said it yourself, you would be sad to break off the friendship, so it's obvious you would still like to be his friend. Don't walk away. I know what you're going through, and I know it's hard. But, it would be better for both of you if you stayed.
IIN that my friend might have Asperger and I dont know what to do?
