See I disagree about this. I knew from the beginning that my boyfriend was unique and yes, special, in a very good way. It's been well worth a year's worth of trying to understand why he does/doesn't do things that seem rude or hurtful or inconsiderate to me. I just KNOW it's not his intention, and it's been like a puzzle for me to figure out what it's about. I am concerned that he will feel much as you do -- humbled and depressed -- if and when he learns about AS. My biggest fear is that knowing will be too difficult for him to accept.

Lol I was really depressed when I wrote that for no apparrent reason, sorry. I am inexplicably happy now. Is there a proper name for mood swings like this?
Welcome to my world.
