"There's [sic] two kinds of people I can't argue with. You're one of them. The other one is [sic] my parents."

I don't know if that was supposed to be a compliment or a sign of irritation. My friendcrush said that to me yesterday when we were debating about something very trivial.

Any thoughts?

It could definately be both. Does he get on well with his parents or do they irritate him? I can imagine liking someone a lot and not wanting to argue with them, and then I'd be more conscillatory than I would be with someone I didn't like, so it could be a compliment.

Or he might not argue with his parents for other reasons (they seem to speak another language and he cant win or maybe he cant argue out of some sense of respect)

You are going to have to ask him what he meant.

Good question.

He might have meant you're too good to argue with.
THough he might have been mad at you.

And what is a "friendcrush", may I ask?

"Friendcrush" means that we are friends, but I have a crush on him. So he treats me as a friend.

And no, he's not mad at me. He might be slightly irritated, but he's not mad.

I always thought "friendcrush" just meant that the two people were interested in each other as extremely good friends but not exactly the actual crush kind of love, but I guess I'm bound to learn new things.
As for what you're concerned about, I think it could just meant he didn't want to argue with you because he felt irritated probably. You would have to listen to his perspective more to figure it out though, people don't want to argue with others for certain reasons. People who argue with me though in my experience don't like it though just because of how much I want to say. People tell me I can be stubborn when it comes to arguing a point but my last big argument was months ago really and I feel I've improved since.
Aside from that, you would have to ask him probably since it would be hard for me to say what he meant I can only make an inference as to what he meant.

He was probably exhasperated, but it doesn't feel like a big deal to me. Tone of voice and gestures would give it more context though.

"friendcrush" was just a term I made up one day. :lol:
Does it help to mention that he is an Aspie?

The fact he is an Aspie is something you could take into account if you feel those traits are important enough in this case, but I think it's more of an individual thing between you two. I would still ask him though, but I'm sure since you two appear to know each other well, it might not be enough of a deal to ask.
