Could use some advice...

Yeah well... I have known this girl since year 6 (and am know in year 12) and I do like her, she is one of the few people I find it easy to be around, I have gone out with her a few times and talking to her one on one is incredibly easy which is quite rare for me. She does know I have Asperger's (Well... she knows I have Autism, I'm not sure about Asperger's). Though during school I find it harder to talk because it's nearly always within a group. She is currently going to the formal (Year 12 dance) with me as well. I wan't to know is it as simple as saying I like you or something?

Yes.
Tell her.

Yes. Believe it or not, it actually is that easy. And you should believe that she likes you, too. People don't go to formal events with people they don't like.

In addition to telling her that you like her -- which she already knows BTW (you *did* ask her to the formal, right?) -- tell her what you just told us. If you are able to find the words that let her know that talking to her (and only her) is incredibly easy, she will most likely be flattered beyond belief. It will make her feel very special -- and, in turn, she will probably think of you as very special. If you really have a connection with her, don't avoid cementing it. Just be really sensitive and not overbearing or aggressive, and I'm quite sure the message will be favorably received.

This happens to me all the time BTW. There's often that ONE SPECIAL GIRL that I can open up to -- while I keep the rest of the world at bay. I find it really hard to answer that question about whether I find it easy to express emotion. With that one "chosen one," no; with everyone else, yes.

Best of luck. You *deserve* this

Yes, just tell her you like her. BUT, and this is very important, be prepared beforehand to *verbalize* to her exactly *why* you like her. She will eventually want to know, and at that point, if you cannot tell her why you like her, it is game over. Or best case scenario, not being able to tell her why you like her will set you back significantly. Believe me, I speak from experience.
