| The ICD-11 coming out in May will also fold Aspergers into Autism . The manuals are a guideline, as far as I know clinicions do not lose their licenses if they do not follow the latest manual or the manuals at all.

| If he's aspie, then yes his reaction can be seen as arising from fear of change; you've got a comfortable thing going, and making it a 'relationship' means also having the possibility of a breakup. And his social skill problems might have led to him having low self-confidence in things like maintain... |

| It's just that I've never seen him show any signs of interest in me beyond classmates, which leads me to think there might be good chance he hasn't noticed me that way.

| (It's looking like even this thread will, ironically, devolve into an Angry Religious Debate.) The problem isn't regarding the facts per se.
