Thing about Aspergers, hell, anything in the DSIM, is that if you think about it enough (like Astrology) you'll find that you have a lot in common with many mental disorders. I wouldn't be scared if I were you. Usually, for people with Aspergers that have adults around them with half a brain cell or two, it is detected early and easily.
But by idealistic, I would say, many of them put their mates on a pedestal of how they feel is the perfect mate, and they treat their mate in that manner. They have this storybook ideal of romance, because that is the ideal that they learned from their media. They tend to act out their fantasies which gets awkward. Aspergers folks seem to be trapped in their own mind so to speak. They can understand others but it's more of a factual understanding than an actual empathetic understanding. You don't have to be Aspergers to behave like this, though. It's just another check on the big list of AS.
Yeah, I dated a man with Aspergers and even after we broke up we remained friends...sort of... We talk often, but I don't usually get what he means by certain things.
Is it his style of speech or does he speak in metaphors? Asperger's folk are known for having a tendency to speak in metaphors that only they themselves (usually) understand.
I see this is old but I can answer this. If you broke his heart, that means he still likes you so he would want to be around you still, even if not in a relationship because it doesn't make sense when people breakup and they become enemies or not friends over it.
Would you date someone with autism?

According to the DSM what I like to do in the bedroom is a mental disorder, hahaha.

Ah, Just sounds like he is having a hard time getting over you v.v Probably doesn't have the social skills to meet another chick ^^;
