He's 36 and change is hard. It is very possible that he doesn't have aspergers and that he isn't shy about expressing himself but that he just doesn't have the same emotional depth as you. People vary in how sensitive they are.
Part of this is because men tend to have less developed emotional sensitivity. We are taught to bottle it up and hide it. Not just from others but even from ourselves. Mood disorders like depression and dysthemia also impact how vivid a person's emotional life is. He may be able to unlock his feelings so that he can better love and commune with you but it will take therapy and even then may not result in a man who can love you as you need to e loved. It's a sad sad world sometimes.
