Um. It maybe depends on your friendship, but if the things he's doing are odd in the sense of offensive or uncomfortable, it might help him to know that? It's always really embarrassing and horrible when someone points out something I'm doing, but I tend to think it's better to know so I a) know there's something concrete I'm doing that's maybe making people react funny, and b) can keep it in mind so I can try and stop.

You don't have to bring Aspergers or Autism into it, there are any number of things that can lead to people acting weird, but you can maybe just ask the next time he does something weird why he's doing it? If he doesn't know it's weird, it might help him to, and if he does know and is doing it on purpose, then maybe you might mention it anyway so he knows you're weirded out.

I don't know, maybe your circumstances are different, but generally I'd prefer honesty about these things.

As another Aspie I agree with this. I'd just mention the behavior as nothing but a behavior if it's something he's done repeatedly that makes you uncomfortable. Aspie or not, I think most people would want to know.

OP

Thank you, you and both the other Aspie anons. This is really good advice, I'll try and work it into conversation next time one of his odd behaviors presents itself. I'm just really bad at any type of confrontation and a bit paranoid about coming off as rude, so wasn't sure how to handle this.
